Mitch Moreland went 4 for 4 with four runs batted in as the Texas Rangers rallied from a 4-0 deficit to avoid a three-game sweep with a 6-5 victory over the Twins on Thursday at Target Field.
Moreland hit two singles, a double and a homer as the Rangers pulled within a half-game of the Twins in American League wild card standings. The Twins entered the game two games behind the Los Angeles Angels in the race for the second wild card berth.
Elvis Andrus drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly off reliever Casey Fien (2-5), who entered in the eighth inning and immediately gave up back-to-back singles to Adrian Beltre and Moreland.
