Rangers Topple Orioles with Late Rally
The Texas Rangers eked out a 6-5 win versus the Baltimore Orioles at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Nobody did more than designated hitter Eric Thames, who captured player of the game honors. The Rangers have an impressive 71-40 record.

Thames had a game-changing single in the bottom of the ninth. On a 1-0 fastball from Joe Jimenez, he banged a run-scoring single to left-center, giving the Rangers a 6-5 lead. It was the 108th hit of the year for Thames.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Thames said.
