Rangers Fall Short in Wild Card Race | Dallas News

The Texas Rangers nearly pulled off a miracle comeback against the Rays, rallying from a 6-1 deficit thanks to Elias Diaz’s game-changing grand slam — but fell just short, 7-6. With the tying run on third and two outs, they couldn’t deliver. The loss stings even more as Houston wins their game, extending their AL West lead to three games and cutting their magic number to 18. Meanwhile, Cleveland sweeps doubleheader, Toronto wins to go .500 — and every team ahead of Texas won on Friday. Rocker’s shaky start (6 runs) hurt, but Diaz still drove in five runs, Duran added a solo homer. With playoff hopes fading fast, the Rangers can’t afford another letdown.
