California Angels (43-78) 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 5 11 4
Texas Rangers (77-44) 1 1 1 0 0 1 4 1 X 9 10 1
Rangers Pick Up 9-5 Win
The timely hitting of Sammy Sosa helped the Texas Rangers down the California Angels, 9-5. Sosa went 3-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Rangers. The winner was Texas reliever Doug Bochtler, now 6-1. The loser was Manny Gallardo. The save was credited to Walt Roy, his 33rd.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Jose Hernandez was at the plate when Texas scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Rangers to go in front, 4-3.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Sosa.

The AL American League West-leading Rangers have a record of 77-44.
