Rangers Sweep Royals with Leiter’s Dominance

Jack Leiter dominated on the mound, striking out ten in five and two-thirds innings to keep the Royals scoreless, while the Rangers offense exploded for four runs in the first inning — fueled by Ezequiel Duran’s big triple — securing a series sweep and their second of the season. The Royals, meanwhile, are in a brutal slump, losing six straight and nine of their last eleven, with a dismal 7-25 road record. Leiter’s gem and early runs from Jung and Burger gave the Rangers a 6-0 lead, and despite late Royals rallies, the Rangers held on. Now, both teams head to the road — Rangers to St. Louis, Royals to Cincinnati — looking to turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
