In the first, Jung singled and scored when Foscue hammered a low fastball 417 feet to left field for a 2-0 lead.

The Rangers took a 6-0 lead with a four-run third that featured four hits. With one out, the Rangers extended their lead to 3-0 when Jung lined his eighth home run of the season to the opposite field. After Joc Pederson flied out, Brandon Nimmo doubled off the left field wall and Foscue walked to put runners on first and second.

Duran’s two-run double scored Nimmo and Foscue. Burger’s slow roller to third base led to an infield hit that knocked in Duran and extended the Rangers’ advantage to 6-0.

Texas took a 7-0 lead in the fourth when Langford scorched a line-drive home run to left field.

As the Rangers amassed their lead, deGrom’s strong outing featured a seven-pitch, 1-2-3 fourth.
