ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Josh Jung and Justin Foscue homered, Alejandro Osuna had a pair of RBI singles and the Texas Rangers beat the Cubs 6-0 on Saturday night, ending Chicago’s second 10-game winning streak of the season.<\/p>\n
Jung, who finished with three hits, led off the second inning with a homer to snap an 0-for-13 skid since a 13-game hitting streak. Foscue’s first career homer leading off the fifth made it a 5-0 lead for the Rangers, who had lost five of six games.<\/p>\n
Jalen Beeks (2-1) retired all four batters he faced after relieving Jack Leiter, the Texas starter who had to work around nine baserunners and threw 97 pitches over 4 2\/3 scoreless innings. Cole Winn and Gavin Collyer followed Beeks to wrap up the Rangers’ four-hitter and fourth shutout this year.<\/p>\n
Edward Cabrera (3-1) allowed five runs in five innings. He struck out six and walked one.<\/p>\n
Chicago (27-13) was held scoreless for the fourth time after winning 20 of its previous 23 games, with those 10-game streaks sandwiching a three-game skid. It was the first time since 1935 that the Cubs had multiple 10-game win streaks in the same season.<\/p>\n
Cubs left fielder Ian Happ extended his on-base streak to 30 games when he drew a walk in the first inning. The only longer active streak in the majors is 33 games by the Athletics’ Nick Kurtz, who had two doubles Saturday in a 6-2 win over Baltimore.<\/p>\n
Leiter allowed multiple runners in each of the first four innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked five, including his last batter to fall one out shy of qualifying for the win.<\/p>\n
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is hitting .197 after going 0 for 4 with three inning-ending strikeouts. The two-time World Series MVP is 6 for 47 (.128) with 19 strikeouts his last 12 games.<\/p>\n
Jacob deGrom (2-2, 3.11 ERA) starts the series finale Sunday for Texas, and Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.24) is set to go for the Cubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Josh Jung and Justin Foscue homered, Alejandro Osuna had a pair of RBI singles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[84006,150,152,151,40381,105132,57480,96229,104863,53310,53311,81195,105113,39085,84002,95726,23681,202,196,42094,85939,942],"class_list":["post-287287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-alejandro-osuna","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-corey-seager","tag-cubs-rangers-score","tag-edward-cabrera","tag-gavin-collyer","tag-ian-happ","tag-jack-leiter","tag-jacob-degrom","tag-jalen-beeks","tag-jameson-taillon","tag-josh-jung","tag-justin-foscue","tag-nick-kurtz","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40784-ap-illinois-sports-only","tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
