Texas Gets 7-3 Win
The Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Guardians, 7-3, at Progressive Field. The win was due in part to shortstop Zach McKinstry, who went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Texas goes to 82-67. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Jon Berti, the 33-year old third baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Berti contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the third inning to put Texas up, 2-0.

"I like our moxie," said Rangers manager Mark Karpinski.
