The Texas Rangers fell to the Minnesota Twins 6-2 in a frustrating game where luck seemed to favor their opponents. Starter Jack Leiter struggled, allowing four runs, including a massive 479-foot home run to Byron Buxton. The Rangers couldn't capitalize on opportunities, particularly when Evan Carter's potential second base steal was thwarted by a missed balk call. The game turned further when a ground ball led to additional runs for the Twins, leaving the Rangers to rue their missed chances.

The Twins showcased strong defensive plays, especially Buxton's incredible catch that robbed Marcus Semien of a hit. The Rangers' offense struggled to find a rhythm against a solid Twins pitching performance, as they only managed two runs despite having moments that could have changed the game's outcome.
