  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Minnesota Twins (75-67) 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 3 12 1
Texas Rangers (73-69) 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 0 X 4 8 0
Rangers Prevail, 4-3, Over Minnesota
The Texas Rangers stopped the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, at Arlington Stadium 1979. The Rangers got a big game from Moises Alou, who went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Moises Rangel converted his 13th save in 19 tries. The win gives Texas a season record of 73-69.

Had Al L Martin not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Martin hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Rangers.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Minnesota skipper Bill Benson.
