Both teams had their chances, but the Texas Rangers eventually prevailed.

The Texas Rangers weathered an outstanding game by California center fielder Bjoern Waltersson to topple the Angels, 5-4. Waltersson was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI. Texas reliever Mike Webb picked up the win, raising his record to 3-4. George Poirier was tagged with the loss.

Texas used the clutch hitting of John Giesbrecht to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Rangers the lead, 5-4. For the game, Giesbrecht had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"This was a good win," said Giesbrecht.

Today's win puts Texas at 70-82, while California falls to 84-68.
