Corey Seager’s three-run home run highlighted a productive six-run fourth inning, and Jonah Heim’s impressive 4-for-5 performance included a home run and three runs scored as the Texas Rangers secured a decisive 13-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Wyatt Langford also shone with his second career four-hit game, while Sebastian Jankowski contributed a 2-for-3 outing with three RBIs. Leody Taveras added to the offensive barrage with three hits and an RBI, as the Rangers matched their season high with 19 hits. Robbie Grossman added a home run to bolster Texas’ offensive onslaught, with the team batting around in both the fourth and fifth innings.

Nathan Eovaldi (6-3) earned the win on the mound, allowing two runs on four hits across seven solid innings, striking out five batters and issuing no walks.

Despite Jose Caballero’s two-run homer and Ben Rortvedt’s two hits for Tampa Bay, the Rays struggled throughout the series, being outscored 20-5 and suffering their fourth loss in the last five games. Zack Littell (3-6) took the loss after surrendering seven runs on nine hits over four innings, walking one and striking out five.

Texas took a 1-0 lead in the first when Seager doubled into the gap in right-center to extend his hitting streak to 12 and scored one out later on a double by Langford.

Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead in the third on Caballero’s sixth home run of the season, a 413-foot drive to left that drove in Rortvedt, who had singled.

Texas then went ahead 7-2 with a six-run, five-hit fourth that included an RBI single by Heim, a two-run single by Jankowski and Seager’s 16th homer, a 382-foot, three-run drive to right.

The Rangers broke the game open with three runs on five hits in the fifth to make it 10-2. Taveras, Jankowski and Derek Hill had consecutive RBI singles as Texas’ first six batters reached base.

Heim increased the score to 11-2 with his eighth home run in the sixth inning, while Grossman extended the lead to 12-2 in the seventh inning with his second homer of the 2024 season. Grossman contributed another RBI in the eighth inning by drawing a bases-loaded walk against reliever Garrett Cleavinger.
