On August 25, 2012, the Texas Rangers secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating the Minnesota Twins with a score of 9-3. The Texas offense was sparked early by Ian Kinsler hitting a leadoff home run, and later powered by a remarkable 463-foot blast from Mitch Moreland, performance that helped send Ryan Dempster and the Rangers past the Twins.
