Rivera Lifts Rangers to 7-3 Win
The Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 7-3. Texas right fielder Iván Rivera deserved the lion's share of the credit. Rivera went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Rangers. Jamie Widner, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 7-10. Texas is last in the American League West with a record of 51-76.

Texas relied on the bat of Jordan Akins to get the win. The left fielder ripped a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 4-3. For the game, Akins had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Rivera called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
