Texas Rangers defeat the Los Angeles Angels 7–6 in a game decided in the ninth inning after the Rangers squander a five-run lead. Wyatt Langford comes off the 10-day injured list after a left hamstring strain and is activated the first day he is eligible. Batting as the designated hitter, Langford records three strikeouts in his first four at-bats. In the ninth, with the Angels trailing, Alejandro Osuna reaches on a leadoff single and advances to second on a sacrifice bunt by pinch-hitter Nicky Lopez. Langford then hits a shot off the wall in left field, driving in Osuna to give Texas the go-ahead and eventual winning run.
The reporting is consistent across outlets on the late-inning scoring sequence, Langford’s return from the injured list, the Rangers’ earlier five-run lead, and the final one-run margin. Both accounts describe the decisive two-out rally in the ninth and Texas’s ability to close the game despite the bullpen setback that created a tense finish.
