Floundering Rangers Lose 6th Straight
A 3-RBI performance from right fielder George Foster, who is on pace for 106 RBI this season, led the Minnesota Twins to a win over the Texas Rangers, 8-5. With the win, Minnesota raised its record to 85-53.

The game was all tied up in the top of the eighth, until Foster delivered big-time for Minnesota, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Kent Tekulve. The game-changing hit put the Twins on top, 6-5.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Texas manager Zach Redpath.
