Jung’s 2 homers back Leiter’s solid start as Rangers beat struggling Rockies 4
- On May 14, 2025, the Texas Rangers defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-1 in Arlington, Texas, with Josh Jung hitting two home runs and Jack Leiter pitching six innings.
- The Rangers' early offensive support, including Jung's first-inning three-run homer after two singles, helped Leiter secure his first win since April 2 following no run support in prior starts.
- Leiter limited the Rockies to a single run despite early traffic on the bases, pitching six innings—the longest outing of his career—while Shawn Armstrong secured his first save of the season after Chris Martin exited due to elbow tightness and Luke Jackson was sidelined.
- The Rockies continued their struggles with a 7-35 record, including a 2-19 road record matching historic lows, under interim manager Warren Schaeffer who replaced Bud Black just days before.
- The Rangers improved to 22-21 with a four-game winning streak, pushing their rotation ERA below 3.00 for the first time since 1972, and preparing to host the Rockies again on May 21 with Patrick Corbin facing Antonio Senzatela.
