Texas Rangers Take Series From Reds Behind Another Strong Dane Dunning Start, Show Of Power And Speed From Sluggers
The Texas Rangers won a series for the first time in 10 days. Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford hit two-run homers in the first inning and Dane Dunning and the bullpen made it hold up against the Cincinnati Reds.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers picked up where they left off the night before, scoring four runs in the first inning and held off a late Cincinnati Reds rally to take the three-game series with a 4-3 win Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Field.
Adolis Garica and Wyatt Langford each hit two-run home runs in the first, including an inside-the-park homer for Langford, who recorded his first Major League home run after his blast to right-center field took an awkward bounce off the wall and away from two outfielders. Langford was running so fast around the bases that the Reds didn't even attempt a throw to the plate.
Dane Dunning struck out 10 and held the Reds to two runs (one earned) on three hits over 5.1 innings to improve to 3-2.
It's the Rangers first series win since taking 3 of 4 from the Tigers in Detroit on April 18. It's their first series win at home since taking 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs in the season-opening series.
