Rangers Resilient in 6-5 Win Over Toronto
The Toronto Blue Jays got a sterling performance from pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, but the Texas Rangers still prevailed, 6-5. Eovaldi threw 5.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Texas reliever Marc Church got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Zebulon Vermillion was tagged with the loss. The Rangers sit in first place in the American League West Division with a record of 82-69.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Texas designated hitter Eric Brown Jr., facing Zebulon Vermillion, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Rangers the 6-5 win.

In postgame comments, Brown Jr. said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
