Michael Helman delivered a two-way breakout, turning a potential Brewers homer into a leaping catch and then tying the game with a homer in the same fifth inning as Texas surged to a 5-4 win. The rally continued with four straight hits including Wyatt Langford’s go-ahead triple and Kyle Higashioka’s hustle double, fueling a four-hit sequence that felt like the cycle in one frame. The victory pulls Texas within 2.5 games of Houston, extending Helman’s recent impact as part of a Rangers surge that also spotlighted Evan Carter’s rising star.

Jake Burger powered Texas to a 4-2 win over Houston with a decisive two-run homer in the sixth, capping a late rally and giving the Rangers a key division-state win. Earlier, Josh Jung’s two-bagger set Burger up for the go-ahead swing, while Alejandro Osuna supplied timely baserunning and stout defense. The Rangers’ bullpen plus a late save from Shawn Armstrong sealed the deal as Langford and Duran contributed to a multi-faceted offensive night for Texas.

The win underscores Texas’ depth and upside for fantasy managers—Burger’s power plays in run-producing spots, Jung’s multi-hit night provides sneaky upside, and Langford’s baserunning offers value in deeper formats. Houston’s miscues kept the Rangers in rhythm and highlighted a few levers for both clubs as they navigate a busy schedule.
