ARLINGTON, Texas — On Friday, it was the Rangers who overcame an early 3-0 deficit with a big five-hit, six-run inning. On Saturday, the Twins fell short of doing the same.
The Twins lost, 9-7, at Globe Life Field, dropping to 47-40 atop the American League Central. The Rangers improved to 39-43 in the middle of the West division.
Twins starter Devin Smeltzer put the Twins behind in the second inning, giving up a leadoff walk and a single before Kole Calhoun smacked a three-run homer. But the Twins exploited Rangers starter Martin Perez in the fourth inning to claim the lead.
