ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Kenny Lofton was stuck between second and third base, seemingly a sure out for the Texas Rangers in the bottom of the ninth inning. "I was just trying to figure out what I can do in that position," Lofton said. "You just have to react."
And wait for the Chicago Cubs to make another mistake.
The speedy 40-year-old Lofton scored the winning run in the Rangers' 6-5 victory Thursday after almost being out twice in the winning rally. After pitcher Bob Howry's blunder allowed Lofton to get back to second base, he scored on Frank Catalanotto's pinch-hit single off the glove of diving right fielder Angel Pagan.
