Rangers squander late chances in a 5-2, 10-inning loss to the Mets as Pete Alonso’s three-run homer caps a troublesome day for Texas. Texas now sits two games back in the wild-card chase with 12 games left, while Cleveland creeps closer. The Rangers stranded multiple runners at third with two outs and must tighten execution, especially with Morrison-like late-inning outs and a depleted bullpen. Alonso and Lindor fueled New York, and Soto’s walk in front of Alonso underscored the Mets’ opportunistic approach.
