Arlington, Texas July 20: Ian Kinsler's two-run home run off R.A. Dickey with one out in the 12th Sunday gave the Texas Rangers a 5-3 win over Minnesota.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia led off the inning with a single off Brian Duensing (0-1) and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Elvis Andrus to set up Kinsler's 22nd homer of the season and his second of the game. Kinsler had leff off the bottom of the first with a solo shot.

Marlon Byrd had two hits and scored twice and Andrus drove in a run for Texas, which won for the first time in its last five games.

Rangers' starter Derek Holland went four innings, allowing three runs on five hits with four walks and four strikeouts.

Minneapolis, July 4: Placido Polanco, Ryan Raburn and Magglio Ordonez all singled in a run in the 16th inning Friday, bringing the Detroit Tigers a marathon 11-9 win over Minnesota.

The teams combined for 35 hits and the Tigers maintained their 2 ½-game lead over the Chicago White Sox at the top of the American League Central.

The Twins created a 7-7 deadlock with a five-run sixth inning and neither side could score again until the Tigers scraped out a run against R.A. Dickey in the 14th inning. Minnesota, however, tied the game in the bottom half of the 14th and they played on for two more frames before Detroit produced enough offense to win it.

Both teams scored a run in the second. Brendan Harris singled in a run for Minnesota, and the Brewers made it 4-3 on an RBI double by Casey McGehee.
