Rangers Win 10-6 Walk-Off
Behind a solid performance from third baseman Hank Blalock, the Texas Rangers defeated the Montreal Expos, 10-6. Blalock belted 3 home runs, while adding 9 RBI and scoring three times for the Rangers. The Expos, at 63-88, have lost 6 in a row.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Blalock hit a curveball from Ricky Bottalico for a grand slam home run. The Rangers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Montreal manager Russ Chapman.
