The Texas Rangers secured a 6-2 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 13, 2026. The game remained scoreless through two innings before Arizona took an early lead in the third on a Tim Tawa triple and a Pavin Smith RBI single. Texas starter Kumar Rocker worked into the fifth inning, when the Rangers offense broke the game open with a multi-run rally against Brandon Pfaadt. Wyatt Langford sparked the Texas surge with a leadoff home run, and the team capitalized on defensive miscues and a series of singles to pull ahead.
