Phil Plantier had a good game, but he could not keep the Texas Rangers from falling, 5-3, to the Minnesota Twins at Metrodome. The Texas right fielder was 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once in the loss. Texas, at 32-95, has lost 5 straight.

An important at-bat for the Twins came in the bottom of the second, when second baseman Garry Templeton stroked a run-scoring double. That made the score 3-1 in favor of Minnesota. For the day, Templeton was 2-4 with 2 doubles.

In postgame comments to the Minnesota News, Templeton said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
