Overview
- Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven strong innings Saturday, allowing one run on three hits with eight strikeouts to anchor the victory.
- Texas built a quick lead with three runs in the first and two in the second driven by Ezequiel Duran’s RBI triple, Evan Carter’s double and Wyatt Langford’s two doubles.
- Wyatt Langford fouled pitches off his left ankle, left after the sixth inning, had negative X-rays and said he expects to play Sunday.
- Alejandro Osuna delivered a two-out, two-RBI double in the seventh that widened the margin and allowed manager Skip Schumaker to preserve his top high-leverage relievers.
- The win extended Texas’s advantage in the AL West to roughly two to 2.5 games, kept the Rangers 5-0 at Globe Life Field versus Seattle this season, and strengthens their position entering a key trip to Houston and the trade-deadline window.
