White Sox Lose By a Run at Texas, 4-3
The Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-3, at Globe Life Field. Jose Hernandez went 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The two-time Most Valuable Player Award winner was a menace to Chicago all day. Nelson Munoz was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. The save went to Walt Roy, his 3rd this season.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the seventh when Hernandez, who finished 2nd in the AL in wins above replacement with 8.1 last year, hit a run-scoring single. It propelled the Rangers into the lead, 4-3.

"It's good to win," Hernandez told the Texas Daily News. "I like to have fun doing it."

The win gives the Rangers a record of 9-14.
