Rangers 2, Twins 1: Leonys Martin delivered a bases-loaded single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift host Texas to its sixth walk-off win of the year.

Alex Rios started the winning rally with a one-out double to left field off Caleb Thielbar (2-2). The Rangers eventually loaded the bases before Martin greeted Brian Duensing by ripping a single up the middle to give Texas its eighth win in 11 games.

Joe Nathan (5-2) struck out two in a scoreless ninth and Adrian Beltre had a sacrifice fly for the first-place Rangers, who maintained their two-game lead over Oakland in the American League West.

Brian Dozier homered to lead off the game for the Twins, who have scored 10 runs while going 1-6 in their last seven games. Beltre's sacrifice fly also came in the first as Texas' Matt Garza hooked up with Mike Pelfrey in a stirring pitchers' duel.

Garza surrendered the leadoff blast by Dozier but allowed just two more hits over the rest of his seven-inning stint, striking out nine and walking three. Pelfrey fanned seven and gave up a run and six hits over his seven frames, retiring 13 straight at one point.
