The Texas Rangers hung on Saturday to beat the Minnesota Twins 9-6 for a seventh straight victory in which their offense churned out six runs in the second inning and their closer saved the day in his tightest spot yet.
But manager Jeff Banister was still steamed by Jurickson Profar getting drilled by right-hander Addision Reed in the seventh inning. It was the third time Profar was hit, but the third was in response to him stealing second base with a 9-2 lead.
In the fourth inning. After he had been hit by a pitch for the second time.
