The Texas Rangers faced off against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park, resulting in a 5-3 victory for the home team.

Rangers' Performance

The Rangers showcased a strong offensive presence with 8 hits throughout the game. Marcus Semien and Adolis García were pivotal in driving Texas' offense forward. García maintained his momentum from previous games with a solid .500 average and an on-base percentage of .75, contributing significantly to his team's efforts.

On the pitching front, Jacob deGrom started for Texas but struggled with an earned run average of 6.75 over four innings pitched.

Mariners' Key Plays
