Arizona rallied behind Nabil Crismatt's 6.1 innings of two earned runs and Taylor Rashi's multi-inning save to even the series with Texas. Ketel Marte stayed hot against the Rangers, driving in the go-ahead trio with a 7th-inning blast after Jorge Barrosa and Jordan Lawlar set the table with two early hits; Marte also logged a 120 mph exit-velocity double earlier, underscoring the D-backs' power surge.

Jordan Lawlar collected two more hits, showing real regression in the bat and forcing regular playing time discussion. Jake Leiter (Rangers) vies with Zac Gallen in a marquee finale as Arizona’s bullpen duo Crismatt/Rashi continues to stabilize late-inning work. A win would hand Arizona the series and sharpen fantasy rosters' focus on the Arizona lineup.

Ketel Marte stayed red-hot against Texas with a three-run homer that swung a tight game in the seventh, continuing a second-half tear with four homers in five matchups against the Rangers. Arizona’s offense did enough to hold off Texas, while Texas starter Jacob Latz kept the game within reach through five scoreless innings before two inherited runners crossed to knot it at 2-2.

Texas couldn’t capitalize with runners in scoring position (0-for-9) and Marte’s late blast proved decisive. Up next, a Texas-Arizona matinee pits Jack Leiter against Zac Gallen, a matchup that could shape the series and fantasy angles alike.

Texas Rangers ride a hot streak into September, with Jacob deGrom’s return and Nathan Eovaldi’s steadying influence fueling a renewed rotation. Jake Burger’s potential comeback adds power to a lineup already clicking, while Sam Haggerty and Chris Martin bring depth as injuries test the roster. Leiter’s development under Eovaldi hints at a bright future; the veteran trio anchors a young core. Oakland’s visit tests the path to the postseason as Texas eyes a wild-card push, with the mix of reliable innings, timely hitting, and bullpen reliability keeping fantasy options alive in DFS and weekly formats.

DeGrom steps in for the injured Eovaldi and fires five scoreless innings to fuel a 9-5 win over Oakland, sealing a sweep and an eight-win stretch. Texas leans on depth, with Leiter and Kelly joining deGrom in a reshaped rotation as they chase a postseason berth.

Texas must manage deGrom’s workload to stay fresh for October, while the club hopes its Cy Young-winning absences don’t derail their surge. The Rangers sit atop a strong late-season run and trust their pitching staff to carry the load down the stretch.
