A homer by Toby Harrah with two men on base capped a four-run rally in the seventh inning that lifted the Rangers over the Twins, 10-7. The Twins led, 7-6, going into the seventh when Bump Wills ignited a rally by drawing a walk from reliever Mike Marshall. A double by Richie Zisk plated Wills with the tying run.
