Corey Seager hit a tiebreaking three-run homer and the Texas Rangers reached the midpoint of their season on the right side of a one-run game.
Mitch Garver, another of the Texas newcomers, got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded against his former team in what will be his final series this season. The catcher will have surgery next week for a lingering injury.
Buxton stretched his gloved left hand out to make the catch just before going into the side of the angled wall in left-center to take a hit away from Marcus Semien nearly 400 feet from the plate. Buxton stayed on his back for about 10 seconds before getting helped up by Gordon.The Rangers opened their decisive fifth by loading the bases on two singles and a walk before Garver, who played his first five big league seasons with the Twins before getting traded in March, was hit by a pitch.
Garver said after the game that he will have surgery Monday to repair a torn flexor muscle in his right arm that has bothered him all season. He has been limited to hitting only since coming off the injured list May 19, and last caught May 8. Texas starter Jon Gray struck out eight in 5 1/3 innings, departing after a two-run homer by No. 9 batter Ryan Jeffers that cut the gap to 6-5. Gray allowed nine hits and five runs, only three of those earned because of three errors.
