Extra-Inning Win by Rangers Over Twins
Texas and Minnesota duked it out and the Rangers came out victorious.

The Texas Rangers knocked off the Minnesota Twins, 5-4, at Target Field. David Casas was a big reason Texas won. The first baseman went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. Mike Webb earned the save for Texas, his 1st of the year.

Casas had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a first pitch fastball from Jim Storer, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Rangers a 5-4 lead. It was the 10th home run of the year for Casas.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Texas manager Juan Smith.

The Twins, now 8-18, continue their inauspicious start.
