ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Danny Jansen chuckled after saying he didn’t really want to have to catch another inning in what had already been an active game behind the plate.<\/p>\n

Jansen didn’t have to after he delivered the walk-off hit that gave the Texas Rangers a 6-5 win<\/a> over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, when the closers for both teams gave up three runs in a frantic ninth inning.<\/p>\n
