Rangers Win, 6-5, at Kansas City
Kauffman Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals.

Kansas City right fielder Whit Merrifield was sensational. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Texas beat the Royals, 6-5. Jordan Lyles, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 2-4.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Elvis Andrus? The Texas shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rangers on top, 6-3. For the game, Andrus had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It's good to win," Andrus told the Texas Today. "I like to have fun doing it."

The Rangers go to 20-33 with the win.
