Scoreless Through 9, Rangers Beat Angels 2-1 as Langford Has Tying RBI Then Scores Winner in 10th
Wyatt Langford tied the game with a 10th-inning RBI double, and Denzer Guzman’s throwing error let the winning run score.
On Friday in Arlington, Texas, the Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 in 10 innings. Wyatt Langford tied the game with an RBI double before scoring the winning run on a throwing error by third baseman Denzer Guzman.
Starting left-handers Reid Detmers for the Angels and MacKenzie Gore for Texas both threw six scoreless innings. Neither starter factored into the final decision, keeping the game scoreless until the extra frame.
Guzman's RBI double broke the deadlock in the top of the 10th, but his defensive miscue moments later decided the outcome. With two outs, his wide throw to second base allowed Langford to race home for the walk-off victory.
Texas reliever Tyler Alexander earned the win after striking out two in the 10th, while Angels reliever Ben Joyce took the loss. Both runs against Joyce in the final frame were unearned, concluding the tense contest.
Dallas-Born right-hander Ryan Johnson is set to pitch for the Angels on Saturday night, while pitcher Cody Bradford takes the mound for Texas. Both teams continue their series in Arlington.
