Rangers Take Down Monarchs, 4-3
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Texas Rangers weathered a fine game by Kansas City first baseman Jorge Romero to upend the Monarchs, 4-3, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Romero went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Rigoberto Sanchez finished to wrap up his 19th save.

Had Prince Fielder not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Fielder hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Rangers.

"It feels good to get this one," Fielder told the Texas Observer.

The Rangers now have a record of 40-28.
