Mariners give up lead, but outlast Rangers in 12
June 28 - Miles Mastrobuoni's single in the top of the 12th inning drove home Randy Arozarena with the deciding run as the Seattle Mariners eked out a 7-6 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday in the opener of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas. Mastrobuoni's two-out hit off Shawn Armstrong (2-3), the eighth Texas pitcher, came after the substitute infielder made a clutch over-the-shoulder catch near the left field line in the bottom of the 11th to send the game to another inning. Eduard Bazardo (3-0) pitched the final two innings for Seattle, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Texas had won two straight. The Mariners outhit Texas 16-9 but left 14 runners on base and went 4-for-23 with runners in scoring position. Julio Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford led the Seattle attack with three hits and two runs each. The contest was billed as a battle between starters Logan Gilbert for Seattle and the Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi but neither figured in the decision. The Mariners scored in their first at-bat as Jorge Polanco's one-out single to right field drove home Rodriguez. Texas answered in the bottom of the inning on Corey Seager's two-out solo home run. Seattle regained the lead in the third. Crawford opened the frame with a single, went to third on a double by Rodriguez and scored on a fielder's choice groundout by Polanco. Arozarena followed with a sacrifice fly to allow Rodriguez to sprint home and make it 3-1. Jacob Webb relieved Eovaldi to start the fourth and gave up singles to Dominic Canzone, Ben Williamson and Cole Young to load the bases with no out. Webb coaxed Crawford to ground into a force play at home before Rodriguez plated Williamson with a groundout that expanded the lead to 4-1. Eovaldi allowed three runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts over three innings. In the sixth Seattle added to the lead when Crawford scooted home on a wild pitch by Rangers reliever Cole Winn. Texas finally got to Gilbert in the bottom of the sixth. Josh Smith singled to lead off the inning and moved to second when Gilbert hit Sam Haggerty with a pitch. Marcus Semien's one-out double drove in Smith and Adolis Garcia then singled to plate Haggerty and Semien. Gilbert gave up four runs on five hits, walking one and striking out seven in 5 1/3 innings. The Rangers tied the game in the seventh on a two-out single by Haggerty off Gabe Speier after a double by Smith. Donovan Solano's single to left field in the 10th drove home Dylan Moore but that tally was answered by the Rangers when Garcia's sacrifice fly plated Haggerty. --Field Level Media

Mastrobuoni has winning hit for Mariners in 12th after his incredible catch extends game at Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Miles Mastrobuoni had a two-out RBI single in the 12th inning after making an incredible catch to extend the game and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 7-6 on Friday night. Mastrobuoni hit a liner to left field that scored Randy Arozarena, who slid in just ahead of Ezequiel Durán's throw and catcher Kyle Higashioka's sweeping tag. The Rangers challenged the safe call, which was upheld after a replay review. After entering as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning, Mastrobuoni stayed in the game at third base. He made a running, over-the-shoulder catch down the line in left on Corey Seager's opposite-way popup with the bases loaded to end the 11th. Eduard Bazardo (3-0), the seventh Mariners pitcher, worked the final two innings. Shawn Armstrong (2-3), who threw the top of the 12th, was the eighth Texas pitcher. J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodríguez, the top two batters in the batting other, both had three hits and scored twice as Seattle (42-39) reached the midpoint of its season. The Mariners never trailed, but blew a 5-1 lead they had in the sixth inning. Seager homered for the Rangers, his eighth of the season — all solo shots. Adolis García had three RBIs, including a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. Donovan Solano had an RBI single in the Mariners 10th, on a soft liner off the tip of Durán's glove when he made a diving attempt to catch the ball. Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi allowed three runs and five hits in three innings after being activated from the injured list, exactly one month after his last start before going on the IL with elbow inflammation. Mariners starter Logan Gilbert struck out seven, but allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Key moment Mastrobuoni's incredible catch in the 11th that would have been fair if not caught, and would have ended the game. Key stat The Rangers turned five inning-ending double plays, two in extra innings. Another double plays came in the seventh, right after shortstop Seager's fielding error ended a franchise-record 17-game streak without an error. Up next Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (7-4, 3.12 ERA) makes his 16th start of the season Saturday. He has thrown at least six innings every start, the longest season-opening streak for a Mariners pitcher since Randy Johnson in his first 20 starts in 1993. ___ AP MLB:

Texas Rangers CF Wyatt Langford to IL again with oblique strain while RHP Nathan Eovaldi returns
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers center fielder Wyatt Langford has been put on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain for the second time this season. Chris Young, the team's president of baseball operations, said Friday that Langford has a 'very low grade' strain. The second-year outfielder hasn't played since Tuesday in Baltimore. 'Feel like it's just the right thing to do. With two off days, it shortens the amount of games missed,' Young said. 'Just getting this right on the front end.' The Rangers, also before the opener of their home series against Seattle, activated right-hander Nathan Eovaldi from the 15-day injured list to start Friday night, exactly one month after his last game before going on the IL because of elbow inflammation. Right-handed reliever Dane Dunning was sent back to Triple-A Round Rock. Michael Helman, a outfielder-middle infielder who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh last month, was being brought up from Triple-A to take over Langford's roster spot. Young said Langford's issue was 'just on the cusp' of whether he needed to go on the IL. But the move was backdated to Wednesday, and combined with off days for the Rangers on consecutive Thursdays, Langford will miss only eight games if he has the expected minimal IL stay. He would be eligible to return July 5 at San Diego. Langford missed nine games in mid-April while on the IL with a right oblique strain, while the latest issue is on the left side. He is hitting .232 with a team-leading 13 home runs and 31 RBIs. Bradford's surgery Young said Bradford's surgery was successful, and that team physician Dr. Keith Meister did an internal brace procedure rather than a more extensive procedure. The pitcher will still be out at least 10-12 months, but that is shorter than if he had needed Tommy John surgery. Bradford was expected to be part of the starting rotation this season, but was shut down during spring training in mid-March because of elbow soreness. His rehab had been going good until Bradford felt something in his elbow when he resumed throwing after a recent flu bug. The 27-year-old Bradford is 10-6 with a 4.28 ERA in 34 games (21 starts) for Texas the past two seasons. As a rookie, Bradford was 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA in five relief appearances during the 2023 playoffs when the Rangers won their first World Series title. He pitched a scoreless inning in both of his World Series appearances. 'The brace procedure, optimistically, would mean a shorter timeline to returning to competition,' Young said. 'All things considered, everything went smoothly. It was the best of the outcomes we could have anticipated.' ___
