Rangers Edge Rays, Close Gap on Astros | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Texas Rangers clawed back from a five-run deficit to stun the Tampa Bay Rays 8-6, splitting their series and ending their homestand on a winning note.

Facing a tougher road ahead, this victory could be the spark they need to surge into contention, especially with tiebreakers favoring Houston if they’re tied. Meanwhile, in the wild card race, they’re still two games behind Cleveland — but with a season series win over them and key upcoming matchups against Toronto, the Rangers are positioning themselves for a late-season push.
