8 Straight Wins for Rangers
Kauffman Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals.

The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from pitcher Adam Lukas, but the Texas Rangers still prevailed, 4-3. Lukas threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. Cody Reed, credited with the win, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on no hits. Jonathan Hernandez recorded the save for Texas, his 1st of the season.

The outcome might have been different for Texas, had it not been for Steven Kwan, the 26-year old left fielder . Kwan stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Texas up, 4-2. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"We're playing like gangbusters right now," said Kwan.

The Rangers, at 17-17, have now won 8 straight.
