Slide Continues for Rangers
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers.

The Kansas City Royals defeated the Texas Rangers, 4-3, in American League action at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Kansas City pitcher Bret Saberhagen had a standout performance. The winner was Saberhagen. He threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Fergie Jenkins.

The Rangers had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Royals going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 28-year old first baseman Mike Sweeney came to the plate. Sweeney hit a solo home run on a 1-2 slider from Texas hurler Fergie Jenkins. It was Sweeney's 2nd home run of the year.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager . "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."

The Royals now have a record of 26-25.
