Rangers Blank MLB-Best Brewers 5-0 as Helman Drives In All Five and Latz Deals

The win pulled Texas within 3.5 games of Houston in the AL West.

Overview

  • Michael Helman hit a fifth-inning grand slam and later added a two-out RBI double in the seventh.
  • Left-hander Jacob Latz, starting in Nathan Eovaldi’s injured-list spot, worked 5 2/3 scoreless innings with three hits allowed.
  • Texas improved to 75-70 and has won 12 of its past 16, while Milwaukee fell to 89-56.
  • The Brewers were shut out for the 11th time this season, postponing any chance to clinch a postseason berth in the opener.
  • Jose Quintana was perfect through four before a rally that began with a Jake Burger walk; Texas’ bullpen of Cole Winn, Jacob Webb and Chris Martin finished the club’s 14th shutout, and Jack Leiter is slated to start Tuesday.
