Jacob de Grom and five Texas relievers combined on a two‑hitter as the Rangers defeated Seattle 2‑1 at Globe Life Field. Jake Burger provided the decisive RBI double in the sixth, driving in the go‑ahead run against left‑fielder Randy Arozarena.

The win ended a four‑game home losing streak for Texas and gave them their first home victory in four outings. Seattle, meanwhile, fell to a third straight loss and five of their last six, slipping further behind in the AL West race.

Both clubs entered the matchup with contrasting pitching narratives. De Grom entered with a 3.60 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, while Seattle’s Logan Gilbert, on his second start, carried a 6.75 ERA and 1.41 WHIP after a shaky debut.

The divisional clash kept the Rangers within striking distance of the West lead, while the Mariners remain 2½ games back of the Angels. The next games will test whether either team can sustain momentum as the early-season schedule tightens.
