Minnesota left fielder Gerardo Flores had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Texas Rangers, 9-8. The loss drops the Rangers to 22-6.

Minnesota took a 8-7 lead on Yonetoshi Muranaka's 4th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Muranaka hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Texas pitcher Hector Aguado shaking his head.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Texas manager Juan Smith. "But we decided not to take it."
