5-at-10: Weekend Winners (Nick Kurtz) and Losers (Braves, Duh) and Huge Sports Year in the 423 | Chattanooga Times Free Press

On Sunday, July 27, 2025, the Texas Rangers won 8-1 over the Atlanta Braves in Arlington, Texas, completing a series sweep with key hits from Josh Smith and Wyatt Langford.
Having gone 8-1 after the All-Star break, the Texas Rangers set a franchise record for win percentage in a nine-game homestand.
Facing the Braves, Bryce Elder surrendered all eight runs, while Jack Leiter worked 100 pitches, notched seven strikeouts, and retired 10 consecutive batters from the second through fifth innings.
Following the sweep, the Texas Rangers will start a six-game road trip Monday against the Los Angeles Angels, with teams aiming to be in the race as the deadline nears, Bruce Bochy said.
Having gained seven games since July 8, the Rangers are four games out of first in the AL West and their closest postseason position since May 17.
