Twins Sneak Past Rangers, 4-3
The Minnesota Twins knocked off the Texas Rangers, 4-3, in American League action at Target Field. Minnesota pitcher and Charlton, Massachusetts, native Jared Turner had an outstanding performance. Minnesota reliever Bobby Bass picked up the win, upping his record to 9-5. Chris Wynn took the loss. After today's action, Minnesota sits at 86-75; Texas slips to 85-76.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Minnesota catcher Alex Martin, facing Chris Wynn, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Twins the 4-3 win.

"That was a really good outing by Jared," said Minnesota manager Robin Ventura.
