Alejandro Osuna sparked Texas with a three-run homer in the first, and Jack Leiter piled up 10 strikeouts in a 7-3 Texas win over Cleveland. Manzardo provided Cleveland’s punch with a first-inning two-run shot, but the Rangers closed it out with a seventh-inning two-run single by Cody Freeman and an RBI base hit from Jake Burger.

Texas snapped a rough stretch, while Cleveland remains in a tight AL Central race with Detroit, carrying a two-win magic number to clinch. If tied, Cleveland would win the division on the season series and host a Wild Card Series.

Texas’s postseason bid faltered in a 6-4, 12-inning heartbreaker to Miami. Jung started the scoring with an early RBI bunt, but the bullpen collapsed late as Corbin allowed three runs in the 12th and Texas couldn’t answer. Tellez’s 10th-inning homer kept hope alive, yet the surge came short in extras. The loss highlights Texas’s strong home form, wobbly road record, and an offseason need to fortify bullpen depth and add middle-of-the-order thump to sustain a playoff push in 2026.
