Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Rangers
Texas beat Kansas City at Globe Life Park in Arlington, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to second baseman Kris Smith. He went 2-3 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs. The Rangers raised their record to 44-69.

Texas won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. With one out and Chris Jordan on the mound for Kansas City, center fielder Bob Armstrong hit a dramatic solo home run, bringing Rangers fans to their feet.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Smith said.
