Kenny Rogers Pitches Complete Game Shut Out

Kenny Rogers pitched a six-hitter, running his scoreless streak to 30 innings in the Texas Rangers' 5-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

``Today we didn't really have much of a chance,'' Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. ``Kenny Rogers was the story. He dominated. He changed speeds and located the ball and I guess that's why he's the hottest pitcher in the game right now. He's on one of those rolls and we couldn't do much with him.''

Texas scored four runs on six singles, including Sandy Alomar Jr.'s bases-loaded hit that scored Alfonso Soriano and Laynce Nix. David Dellucci and Michael Young also had run-scoring singles in the inning to help Texas to a 4-0 lead.
