Corey Seager lined a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and Mark Mathias added an RBI single in the frame, leading the Texas Rangers to a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
Seager’s hit off Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar drove in Marcus Semien, who was the automatic runner at second base. Mathias later drove in Seager with a single to center off Griffin Jax.
Minnesota scored a run in the 10th after reliever Jonathan Hernández couldn’t handle a slow roller off the bat of Max Kepler. But Jose Miranda flew out one batter later to end the game with runners on the corners.
Texas improved to 8-25 in one-run games. Interim manager Tony Beasley is 3-3 since replacing Chris Woodward.
Right-hander Glenn Otto cobbled a formidable line for Texas, allowing one unearned run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. Chris Archer also allowed one run on three hits for Minnesota in five innings. Miranda, Minnesota’s talented rookie, tied the game in the eighth with a single to center that scored Kepler from first base for his 53rd RBI of the season. He had the chance to play the role of hero again in the 10th, but couldn’t get the big hit they needed off Hernández, who pitched multiple innings for the first time all season.
Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia had two hits and extended his hitting streak to 17 games.
