ARLINGTON, TX- If anyone knows how fast a baseball game can flip, it’s the Texas Rangers.

In fact, they experienced it the last time they played a game here at Globe Life Field.

Nearly a week and a half ago, the Rangers were one out away from a getaway day win against the Arizona Diamondbacks before a go-ahead 9th inning home run off the bat of Ketel Marte sealed one of the most crushing losses of the season.

What followed that was a 2-5 road trip to Toronto and Kansas City, and a 63-66 record entering play on Friday night as things looked as bleak as ever for the 2025 Rangers.

Still, baseball is a funny game regardless of records or postseason outings, and on Friday night, the Rangers found themselves on the plus side of a quick flipping contest.

Trailing 3-2 in the 9th, the Rangers got three hits on three pitches to score a pair of runs and walk off the Cleveland Guardians for a huge win.

“They just looked so determined to find a way to win that ballgame. It’s all about playing hard for nine innings,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said.

Wyatt Langford got the 9th started when he ripped a base hit into left-center field and sprinted into second base, turning it into a hustle double.

On the very next pitch, Corey Seager slammed a base hit up the middle to tie the game, and one pitch after that, Joc Pederson won the game with a walk-off double.

“Good hitters doing their thing, that’s what that was, we had the right guys coming up there,” Bochy said.

Contrary to the 9th inning outburst, the night was much of an offensive struggle for the Rangers, who managed just four hits in the game’s first eight innings.

Fortunately, for the Rangers, two of those hits were home runs as Langford and Rowdy Tellez each connected on solo shots that would prove to be huge in keeping the Rangers in it.

However, the main factor in keeping Texas in the game was a guy who’s been doing just that all season and has been doing it better than anyone in baseball.

Nathan Eovaldi fired seven innings of one-run ball, lowering his ERA to an MLB-leading 1.73 clip, the best mark by a pitcher through 22 starts in franchise history.

Eovaldi’s effort, combined with the ninth-inning comeback, helped the Rangers secure what Bochy feels was one of, if not their best, wins of the season.

“It’s right up there,” he said. “Right up there at the top, coming off the tough road trip, to come back and take the lead, no doubt that’s one of our best ones.
