Texas beat Minnesota 6-2 Saturday, keeping postseason hopes alive for the season finale. Nathan Eovaldi allowed one run over 4⅓ innings in his first start since early August, while a four-run second and homers by Danny Jansen and Jake Burger powered the win.
The Rangers entered Sunday's finale one game under .500; a win would bring them to .500 and give them a chance at the postseason. They no longer controlled their own destiny after losing to the Mets on Tuesday.
Brandon Nimmo made a diving catch on Kody Clements' two-out line drive with two runners on in the third. The account says the play, if missed, could have made it 4-3 with Minnesota still batting. Texas' bullpen covered the final 4⅔ innings, and Jacob Latz struck out the side in the ninth.
