Just when you thought you had this Rangers team figured out, they unleash an offensive tidal wave. In a stunning display of power and precision, Texas dismantled the Minnesota Twins 16-4 at Target Field, putting the league on notice that their bats are very much awake. It was a total team effort that secured their third consecutive road victory, a welcome sight for a team building serious momentum.
Kyle Higashioka played the hero, driving in a season-high five RBIs in the 16-4 offensive explosion.
The scoreboard at Target Field looked like it was malfunctioning, but the 16 runs for Texas were very real. The onslaught was relentless. Catcher Kyle Higashioka played the role of primary slugger, driving in a season-high five runs with a pair of clutch hits. But he was far from alone. Evan Carter looked like a superstar in the making, going 3-for-5 with a homer, three RBIs, and four runs scored. Not to be outdone, fellow youngster Wyatt Langford blasted a leadoff homer in the eighth, an inning where the Rangers hung a six-spot to truly bury the Twins. With Josh Jung and Adolis García also chipping in with multi-RBI games, it was a top-to-bottom masterclass in hitting. Even starter Tyler Mahle, who battled through 5 2/3 innings to earn his sixth win, had all the run support he could ever dream of.
Amidst the fireworks, first baseman Ty France quietly continued his remarkable run of consistency. By reaching base again on Wednesday, France extended his on-base streak to a career-high 21 games. He's been the bedrock of the lineup during this stretch, hitting a blistering .329 with 15 RBIs. While the homers from Carter and Langford will grab the headlines, it's the steady, professional at-bats from veterans like France that create the foundation for these explosive nights. His presence ensures the line is always moving, putting constant pressure on opposing pitchers.
The Rangers won't have much time to celebrate, as they'll look to clinch the series tomorrow. The team announced that promising rookie Jack Leiter will take the mound. With a 4-2 record and a solid 3.48 ERA, Leiter has been a revelation for the starting rotation, offering stability and flashes of brilliance. He'll face off against Minnesota's David Festa, providing a fascinating matchup of young arms. After backing their starter with 16 runs tonight, the offense will look to give their rookie a similar cushion as he aims for his fifth win.
With their longest road winning streak of the season in hand and the offense firing on all cylinders, the Rangers have a golden opportunity to win this series. All eyes will be on Jack Leiter to see if he can keep the good times rolling. If the bats stay this hot, Minnesota is in for another long night.
