The lead expanded in the third inning when Burger doubled to left, allowing Jung to score and putting Nimmo in scoring position.

The Rangers continued their assault in the fourth inning. Osuna singled to left to bring Díaz home, followed by Lopez’s single to center that scored Osuna and advanced Foscue to second. The scoring barrage intensified in the fifth inning.

Osuna singled to right, allowing both Duran and Cauley to score. Langford then homered to left (397 feet), driving in Osuna and extending the lead to 9-0.
