MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Scott Feldman and three relievers combined on a four-hit shutout Saturday as Texas beat Minnesota 3-0.

Feldman (14-4) gave up the four hits in 5 2/3 innings before relief stints by Neftali Feliz, C.J. Wilson and closer Frank Francisco, who struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth, earning his 19th save.

Ian Kinsler led Texas with two hits and one RBI, and Ivan Rodriguez hit a solo homer.

Josh Hamilton had one RBI, while Julio Borbon had two hits for the Rangers, who have split their last four games, but remain in the American League wild-card race, two games behind Boston.

Four batters each had one hit for the Twins, who remained 4 1/2 games back of Detroit in the AL Central.
