64-65 – Rangers wait until the last moment to beat Angels 2-1 in 10
No runs, two outs, two strikes, no problem
On August 21, 2026, in Arlington, Texas, the Texas Rangers emerged victorious in a thrilling 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Angels in 10 innings. Despite squandering numerous opportunities in a game that was tied 0-0 through the first nine innings, the Rangers managed to secure a dramatic win with just their last strike remaining.
Ezequiel Duran's fourth hit of the night, a walk-off single, proved to be the decisive play as the Angels failed to convert their chances. The Rangers, who had only managed one hit with a failed bunt attempt in high leverage situations and were out-hit 9-2 in the first nine innings, managed to prevail. Starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore had a stellar outing, allowing only a few hits and a walk over six innings and striking out seven.
The Rangers will next face the Angels in the second game of the series, with Cody Bradford set to start for Texas and Ryan Johnson for the Angels. The game is scheduled to tip off at 6:05 pm CDT, with the telecast airing on Rangers Sports Network.
