Twins Slip Past Rangers, 4-2
Minnesota registered a win at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington by beating the Texas Rangers, 4-2. Pitcher Walter Johnson was one reason why the Twins triumphed. In 8 innings, Johnson surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The last-place Twins now have a record of 33-48.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Rod Carew came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Texas pitcher Jeff Zimmerman, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 3-2.

"To get where we want to as a team, we all have to do things out of our comfort zone," Carew told the Minnesota Bulletin.
