Seattle began its eventual failed rally in the bottom of the sixth. Trailing 2-0, shortstop J.P. Crawford scored on a balk attributed to Rangers starting pitcher Merrill Kelly. Center fielder Julio Rodriguez hit an RBI double to knot the contest up 2-2.

Wyatt Langford hit a tiebreaking single in the 11th inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Saturday. Batting with runners on the corners and nobody out, Langford sliced a fastball from Casey Legumina (4-6) into right field.

The Texas Rangers (57-53) and Seattle Mariners (58-52) battle tonight in the second game of a critical four-game series at T-Mobile Park.
