Tuesday night in Seattle was all Texas Rangers as they blew past the Mariners 10–5 in one of the most lopsided games of the night. The star of the show was D. Jansen, who launched a home run and drove in four runs — almost half his team's total! The Rangers poured on the offense and never looked back, handing the Mariners another tough loss at T-Mobile Park.
The Mariners are having a rough stretch — they're sitting at 67–78 on the season, well below .500 in the AL West. Meanwhile, the Rangers (72–73) are right on the bubble, just a half-game behind the division-leading Astros (74–71). Every game matters now as the final weeks of the regular season heat up. A win like this could be a real momentum boost for Texas!
