The Rangers see a potential game-winning rally ended by a rare call of coach’s interference in the 9th inning of their game against the Twins. Trailing by 4 entering the inning, Texas rallies for 3 runs, but Michael Young is called out at third base to end the game by umpire Alfonso Marquez, who rules that coach Dave Anderson touched Young in ordering him to stop at the bag on Vladimir Guerrero’s infield single. Without the ruling, slugger Nelson Cruz would have batted with the bases loaded, but instead the Twins walk away with a 6 – 5 win after the Rangers argue the call to no avail.
