The Texas Rangers struck a huge punch to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night, sweeping both games with an exciting walk-off victory in the thrilling finale to their doubleheader. Travis Jankowski was the night's hero after making a leaping catch in the ninth inning to deny Andrew Vaughn a chance at a game-winning home run. The Rangers defeated the White Sox 4-3 and completed their second victory of the day with this incredible defensive play.
Corey Seager Shines at the Plate
With four hits, including a game-winning single in the ninth inning of the nightcap, Corey Seager was a force at the plate. Earlier in the day, Seager led the Rangers win 3-1 in the resumption of a game that had been delayed Tuesday after just four pitches. Texas' record versus Chicago this season is now 6-0 thanks to these efforts.
White Sox Continue to Struggle
After dropping 10 of their previous 11 games, the White Sox, who have been having a terrible time, lost their sixth straight setback. With a miserable 4-32 record since the All-Star break, they are getting closer to the franchise's all-time low of 106 losses in 1970.
Wyatt Langford's Heroics and Stellar Relief Pitching
In the second game, Wyatt Langford gave Texas a boost with his eighth three-run home hit of the year, which put the Rangers ahead 3-2. Grant Anderson recorded the final out to earn his first career save, and José Ureña earned the win with four scoreless innings of relief work.
Jankowski's Spectacular Game-Saving Catch
With runners on first and second for the White Sox in the ninth inning, the tension reached a fever pitch. Jankowski, a defensive replacement that entered the game late, reached over the wall to make an incredible catch, but Vaughn's deep drive to left field appeared destined to escape the park. Gavin Sheets' walk loaded the bases, and Anderson stranded Lenyn Sosa on a fly ball to center field to end the game and give the Rangers the victory.
Semien and Festa Lead the Way in Game 1
Texas won 3-1 in the previous game thanks to a tiebreaking RBI double by Marcus Semien and strong relief pitching by Matt Festa. Due to a rapidly approaching storm, the game was postponed on Tuesday night and resumed on Wednesday in front of a small audience. In spite of the peculiar situation, the Rangers maintained concentration and finished the sweep.
