Texas Rangers push their winning streak to seven of their last eight, routing Oakland 9-3 and clinching the series at Sutter Health Park. Merrill Kelly spun six solid innings after being acquired at the deadline, surrendering just a couple of solo shots in the third. Texas pounded out 17 hits, with Langford delivering his 20th homer and Jung collecting three hits in a strong run. Pederson and Higashioka joined the multi-hit effort, while Helman supplied a timely double. Dylan Moore, who debuted Friday, homered in the ninth to cap the win.

Offense came early and often: a three-spot in the second, another in the fourth, and a nine-run ninth that showcased depth as the Rangers chase late-season momentum. The lineup leaned on changeups and contact, leaning away from the hard stuff to neutralize Oakland’s attack, while the bullpen preserved the lead. Fantasy managers should watch Langford, Jung, and Helman for continued plate discipline and power upside as the Rangers near postseason contention.

Dylan Moore was promoted by the Texas Rangers on Friday, stepping in for Corey Seager who hit the 10-day IL with appendicitis. Moore’s return to a familiar organization comes with a chance to stabilize an infield thin from recent injuries and give Bochy a versatile option off the bench.

Moore’s track record blends defensive flexibility with inconsistent bat, including a career-worst 35% strikeout rate in 88 games with Seattle last year. If he taps back into some past form and holds multi-position eligibility, he could be a helpful depth piece for fantasy managers in deeper leagues while Seager and others heal.
