US EditionJack Leiter Strikes Out Career-High 10 as Rangers Blow Out Guardians 10-0
Jack Leiter pitched seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and no walks, aiding the Rangers' strong offense featuring three two-run home runs in a 10-0 win.
- On August 23, 2025, in Arlington, Texas, the Texas Rangers delivered a dominant 10-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of their three-game series.
- The Rangers combined a power surge and strong pitching to achieve their worst shutout loss by the Guardians since August 12, 2021, when they lost 17-0 to the Athletics.
- Rookie right-hander Jack Leiter delivered his best performance yet, striking out a personal high of 10 batters across seven shutout innings while surrendering just two singles and no walks. Meanwhile, Texas' offense featured two-run homers from Cody Freeman, Josh Jung, and Adolis García, helping to build a dominant lead.
- Leiter retired 21 of 23 batters faced and did not allow runners to advance beyond first base, while Guardians second baseman Brayan Rocchio’s botched relay throw in the third inning prevented a likely inning-ending double play.
- The loss marked Cleveland’s seventh defeat in eight games and reinforced the Rangers’ standing as a strong contender relying on both pitching and offense, with Manager Bruce Bochy noting they expected to win by outslugging opponents.
