Playing their fourth game in as many days, the Rangers' weariness was showing true form as they couldn't capitalize on the Redlegs tandem of Kevin Campbell and Aaron Carmack. 

​

Steve Marshall busted out of a personal slump by contributing 3 of the team's 7 hits on the afternoon, including his 200th career hit as a Ranger, and scored the team's 5000th franchise run on a sacrifice fly by Robert Riley in the fifth inning.

​

Shawn Schmitt allowed 4 earned runs over 5 innings of work in suffering his first loss of the season. Joe Becker allowed 1 earned run in 4 innings of relief.
