Texas Rangers (13-21) 2 0 2 3 0 1 0 0 0 8 7 1

Reds Come Back Late to Clip Rangers
The Texas Rangers got a superb performance from designated hitter John Kruk, but the Cincinnati Reds still won the game, 9-8. Kruk was named the player of the game despite the loss. He went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times. The Reds, now 19-14, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Coming to the plate with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Cincinnati third baseman Robin Ventura had a chance to be the hero. Facing Texas pitcher Billy Taylor with the bases loaded, Ventura, who is tied for 5th in the FL in doubles with 8, reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Ventura.
