Rangers Beat Twins in Extra-Inning Thriller
- Josh Jung leads the Rangers to a comeback win over the Twins in 10 innings
- The game was intense with the Rangers trailing 4-0 going into the seventh inning
- Jung's infield single and a throwing error sealed the victory for Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — In a thrilling comeback, the Texas Rangers secured a 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins in 10 innings on Sunday, overcoming a 4-0 deficit. The turning point came in the seventh inning when Josh Jung hit a solo home run, igniting a five-run rally for the Rangers. Jung's infield single in the 10th, coupled with a throwing error by Twins' Jose Miranda, allowed automatic runner Adolis García to score the winning run. The Twins initially took control of the game, building a 4-0 lead by the third inning. Trevor Larnach contributed with an RBI double, while Ryan Jeffers hit a two-run homer, marking his career-high 19th home run of the season. However, the Rangers fought back, with Jung's performance proving pivotal in their comeback. In a dramatic ninth inning, Carlos Santana tied the game for the Twins with a home run off Texas closer Kirby Yates, marking Yates' first blown save of the season. The Twins, currently holding the American League's second wild card spot, remain two games behind the Central-leading Cleveland Guardians. Looking ahead, the Rangers are optimistic about the return of veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, who is recovering from arm fatigue and could pitch in Wednesday's game. Meanwhile, the Twins will send RHP Zebby Matthews to the mound for his second big-league start against the San Diego Padres on Monday night.
