ARLINGTON, TX — The Texas Rangers found themselves in a back-and-forth battle Saturday night but came out on top thanks to a clutch extra-inning performance from their All-Star slugger. Adolis García lined a walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th to lift Texas to a 5–4 victory over the Chicago White Sox, marking the Rangers’ first extra-inning game of the season and their third straight series win.
García’s game-winning hit — his sixth career walk-off — sealed a gritty contest that saw Texas capitalize on a mix of offensive patience, defensive miscues, and timely hitting.
⚾ Opportunistic Offense
The Rangers compiled nine hits and drew five walks over the course of the game, consistently pressuring Chicago’s pitching staff. They also benefited from two costly White Sox errors, including one in the eighth inning that handed Texas a brief one-run lead.
Earlier in the game, Texas plated another run on a wild pitch, showcasing their ability to create scoring chances even when the bats went quiet.
🔁 Sox Respond, Forcing Extras
Despite Texas taking the lead late, the White Sox — the American League’s worst team by record — showed some fight, clawing back to tie the game in the late innings and sending it to extras. It was a surprising rally against a Rangers squad that had appeared to seize control.
Both teams traded scoreless frames in the 10th, setting the stage for García’s heroics in the 11th.
🎯 Walk-Off Moment
With a runner on second and tensions high at Globe Life Field, García came through in signature fashion, slapping a pitch into the outfield to drive in the winning run and ignite a home crowd celebration.
🔍 What’s Next
The Rangers, now gaining momentum with their third consecutive series victory, look to keep the streak alive as they continue to build consistency in a competitive AL West race.
