Last At Bat Afternoon
All three games in the AL this afternoon were won in the last at bat. The Tigers were down 5-3 in the ninth but rallied with 2 in the 9th and 1 in the 10th to defeat the Texas Rangers for the 2nd day in a row. I-Rod, the catcher with the broken hand doubled with one out in the 10th, setting up Monroe for the game winning rbi single.
Johan Santan pitched more than well enough to win, striking out 14 in eight innings, but he allowed as many runs as Indians' starter Scott Elarton. No one scored from the 6th through the 12th until a Ford double and a Jones single ended the game in favor of the Twins. Cleveland fails to gain any ground on Minnesota in the three game series, a disappointing end after taking the first game.
Correction: As pointed out in the comments, the Indians-Twins was a three game series.

The Tribe/Twins series was a three-gamer - Minnesota took 2 of 3. The last series at the Jake was a four-gamer, which was split 2-2 but the Indians could have and should have won 3 of those 4.
