Texas Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The performance of Moises Alou proved critical in helping Texas beat Baltimore, 5-4. The Rangers left fielder belted 2 home runs. Texas reliever Ernie Peterman was the winner. His record is now 2-0. Scott Aldred took the loss. Texas is now 65-62, Baltimore 51-76.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With no one out, Alou hit a changeup from Scott Aldred for a solo home run. The Rangers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"That was intense," said Alou.
