ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Danny Jansen had a game-ending single with two outs as the Texas Rangers rallied for a 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night in a frantic ninth inning that included three-run rallies by both teams.<\/p>\n
Jansen capped the Rangers comeback when he grounded the only pitch thrown by Juan Morillo into the left-field corner. Morillo relieved Paul Sewald (0-4), who had converted his first nine save opportunities.<\/p>\n
Ezequiel Duran had an RBI double and Jake Burger, whose three-run homer for Texas in the fifth produced the game’s first runs, tied the game with an RBI single and chased Sewald.<\/p>\n
Arizona had gone ahead 5-3 in the top half. Nolan Arenado\u2019s RBI double off Jacob Latz, the sixth of seven Texas pitchers, tied the game at 3 and Ildemaro Vargas lined a two-run single.<\/p>\n
Cal Quantrill (2-0) took over after Latz failed to retire a batter.<\/p>\n
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager struck out starting the ninth and finished 0 for 4, slipping into a career-worst slump.<\/p>\n
Seager has gone seven games in a row without a hit. That is the longest hitless span in the two-time World Series MVP’s 12 big league seasons, as is the 0-for-27 span with 11 strikeouts over the last week. He has a .179 batting average.<\/p>\n
Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who fouled a pitch hard off the inside of his left knee in the fourth, had an RBI double in the sixth. Arenado had a sacrifice fly in the seventh, and his double came after Corbin Carroll led off the ninth with a double and Geraldo Perdomo walked.<\/p>\n
Rangers starter Kumar Rocker walked four and needed 97 pitches to get through five scoreless innings. Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson, who gave up Burger’s homer, struck out eight without a walk over seven innings.<\/p>\n
A day off for both teams before road games Friday night: Arizona at Colorado, and the Rangers in Houston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Danny Jansen had a game-ending single with two outs as the Texas Rangers rallied…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,64187,84138,40381,84825,39233,84001,84141,39086,64188,106823,57463,106822,84007,23681,202,84139,196,42094,49691,942,106821,83998],"class_list":["post-293272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-cal-quantrill","tag-corbin-carroll","tag-corey-seager","tag-danny-jansen","tag-ezequiel-duran","tag-geraldo-perdomo","tag-ildemaro-vargas","tag-jake-burger","tag-jake-latz","tag-juan-morillo","tag-kumar-rocker","tag-lourdes-gurriel","tag-nolan-arenado","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-paul-sewald","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40774-ap-arizona-sports-only","tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only","tag-rangers-diamondbacks-score-seager","tag-ryne-nelson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293272","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=293272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
