70-73 – Rangers extend suffering with 6-3 loss to Rays in extras
Delaying the inevitable
In a frustrating 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in extra innings, the Texas Rangers extended their suffering on September 5, 2026, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers managed to score three runs, but the Rays answered with six runs in ten innings. The game resembled the team's previous losses, with Jacob deGrom's home run in the first inning putting the Rays ahead.
Despite hitting a home run themselves, the Rangers couldn't capitalize on their opportunities, finishing the game 0-5 with runners in scoring position. The game featured a strong showing from pitcher Jacob Latz, who pitched a perfect inning in the ninth and the entire tenth after the Rays failed to get a walk-off win. The Rangers now stand at 3 games below .500.
Evan Carter, who hit a solo home run in the eighth inning, is one away from reaching double digits for the season. The Rangers will close out the series against the Rays with an expected start from left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore.
