ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Brandon Nimmo\u2019s two-run single<\/a> in the sixth inning gave Texas the lead as the Rangers rallied from an early deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Saturday in a matchup of first-place teams.<\/p>\n

Texas left-hander MacKenzie Gore (6-8) gave up a two-run homer to Eli White in Atlanta\u2019s four-run second inning and another homer to Michael Harris II the following inning. After giving up five runs in the first three innings, Gore gave up no more runs while pitching 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

All-Star left-hander Jacob Latz recorded the final four outs for his 19th save.<\/p>\n

Evan Carter hit a two-run homer off Tyler Kinley (5-4) in the sixth as the Rangers pulled even at 5-5. Dylan Lee allowed infield singles to Wyatt Langford and Josh Jung before Nimmo\u2019s two-run single up the middle gave the Rangers the lead. Nimmo drove in three runs with two hits.<\/p>\n

Braves right-hander Owen Murphy allowed three runs, two earned, in 2 2\/3 innings in his first major league start.<\/p>\n

Murphy, who made two relief appearances before his first start, was hurt by Mauricio Dub\u00f3n\u2019s fielding error in the Rangers\u2019 two-run third inning. Dub\u00f3n collided with Harris on Kyle Higashioka\u2019s fly ball to center field. Langford and Nimmo had run-scoring singles in the inning.<\/p>\n

Dub\u00f3n\u2019s run-scoring double in the seventh trimmed the Rangers\u2019 lead to 7-6.<\/p>\n

The Braves had 19 hits in Friday\u2019s 15-1 win<\/a> to open the series.<\/p>\n
