Tabler's pinch-hit homer lifts Royals past Texas 6-5
Pat Tabler came off the bench to pinch hit a two-run homer in the ninth, giving Kansas City a 6-5 comeback win over the Texas Rangers. Nolan Ryan struck out 13 for Texas before Tabler's decisive blast off Kenny Rogers, as George Brett went 4-for-4 and Kansas City pulled within three games of Oakland in the AL West. The Royals also overcame Mark Gubicza's four-inning injury scare and earned their 22nd late-inning victory of the season.
