Games Notes

Rangers rally for 6-5 win over the Twins.

After being stung by last-place Minnesota over much of 2 series, Texas finds an answer late, picking up Cole Hamels. Hamels struggles for a rare occasion, coughing up a 4-2 lead. However, Elvis Andrus triples home the tying run in the bottom of the 6th and scores the go-ahead run on Bobby Wilson's Sac Fly.

The Rangers struck for 2 in the 1st and 2 more in the 4th, but each time Hamels gives it back, leaving allowing 5 hits and 5 runs and 6 walks in 4 1/3 innings. However, Tony Barnette, Matt Bush and Sam Dyson combine for 4 2/3 innings of 2-hit relief.
