All-Star closer Jacob Latz and Cole Winn held things together in the eighth and ninth innings, giving Texas its chance to walk things off and clinch a key series win.<\/p>\n<p>Facing former Rangers All-Star reliever Kirby Yates, Alejandro Osuna led the bottom of the ninth off with a single and Nicky Lopez laid down a perfect bunt to move Osuna to into scoring position. That set the table for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/rangers\/article\/texas-rangers-wyatt-langford-return-from-injury-22339500.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wyatt Langford, who was in his first game back from a stint on the injured list<\/a>. Langford ripped Yates&#8217; 1-1 fastball over the left fielder&#8217;s head and off the outfield wall, which was more than enough for Osuna to score the winning run.<\/p>\n<p>The win moved the Rangers to 47-46 on the season and, thanks to the Mariners&#8217; loss to the Marlins, into first place in the American League West. It also saved Texas from a deflating series loss ahead of a massively important weekend series against the Astros.<\/p>\n<p>Watch Langford&#8217;s walk-off winner below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rangers, despite holding a 6-1 lead over the lowly Angels at one point, suddenly found themselves in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,89415,89903,2459],"class_list":["post-367903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-tp-globe-life-field","tag-tp-wyatt-langford","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367903","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=367903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
