The Texas Rangers scored five runs in the seventh to take the lead and then rallied in extra innings to snap a three-game losing streak.
For much of the afternoon, it was looking like another depressing afternoon for the Rangers. The Twins scored three in the first against Tyler Mahle and had a 4-0 lead through the first six innings.
The Twins tied it on Carlos Santana's homer in the ninth against Rangers All-Star closer Kirby Yates, who blew his first save in 2024. He converted his first 21 save opportunities before Sunday.With Garcia at second as the ghost runner, and one out, Jung pounded a grounder into the dirt to third baseman Jose Miranda, whose throw to first pulled Santana off the bag. Santana made the catch off the bag, but the ball came out of his glove when he tagged Jung.
Tyler Mahle threw a season-low three innings after allowing four runs on six hits. Manager Bruce Bochy said the club wanted to be careful with Mahle, who was making his third start back from May 2023 Tommy John surgery. He had gone five innings and 4 2/3 innings in his first two outings.Jul 21, 2024; Arlington, Texas, USA; Texas Rangers relief pitcher Kirby Yates throws during the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Globe Life Field.
