KANSAS CITY \u2014 The Texas Rangers mounted a dramatic ninth-inning comeback on Wednesday night, capitalizing on a crucial error to defeat the Kansas City Royals 6-3. Catcher Kyle Higashioka was the hero, delivering a go-ahead three-run double to cap the stunning rally.<\/p>\n
The decisive play followed a two-out error by Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, who mishandled a slow roller from Corey Seager. The miscue extended the inning, allowing Higashioka to step up with the bases loaded. He promptly lined a double down the left-field line, giving the Rangers their first lead since the first inning.<\/p>\n
The Royals had taken an early 3-1 lead in the first, thanks to a three-run homer from Pasquantino, his 25th of the season. Wyatt Langford led off the game for the Rangers with his 18th home run, but Kansas City quickly answered.<\/p>\n
The Rangers chipped away at the lead, with a Marcus Semien single in the third cutting the deficit to 3-2. The game remained tight until the seventh inning, when Jonah Heim doubled and later scored on a Seager single to tie the game at 3-3.<\/p>\n
Hoby Milner (2-3) earned the win in relief, getting the final four outs for the Rangers. Sam Long (1-3) took the loss for the Royals, who saw their five-game winning streak come to an end.<\/p>\n
The Royals, despite having the fewest home runs in the American League, had out-homered the Rangers 14-3 in their previous six matchups. However, the Rangers\u2019 late-game rally proved to be the difference maker in this contest.<\/p>\n
The two teams will face off again on Thursday, with the Rangers aiming to split the four-game series. Texas will send LHP Patrick Corbin (6-9, 4.45) to the mound against Royals RHP Michael Lorenzen (5-8, 4.43).
