| Rangers Edge Past Ambassadors, 4-3 | Texas beat Pittsburgh on the strength of starter Tommy Bond's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. Bond got the win, improving to 7-4. He allowed 7 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. Bond allowed 3 runs. With the win, Texas has a record of 42-52. Pittsburgh falls to 42-52.
Kevin Reimer was the walk-off hero for Texas. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rangers pinch hitter hit a dramatic solo home run to send the teams home.
In comments to the Texas Times, Bond insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.
