If you love dingers, Thursday night was for you. The Texas Rangers put on an absolute power display at Target Field, launching a season-high six home runs to dismantle the Minnesota Twins 16-3. The offensive onslaught was relentless, marking the second time in just three games that the Rangers have hung a 16-spot on their opponent.
The formula for Texas seems simple: score and you shall win. The team is now an incredible 25-4 when they put at least four runs on the board.
The fireworks started early and never stopped. Josh Smith and Jake Burger went deep in the first two innings, but it was Wyatt Langford's three-run blast in the second that truly broke the game open, staking Texas to a 6-1 lead. But they weren't done. Not by a long shot. Evan Carter, Adolis García, and even Sam Haggerty joined the home run party. The exclamation point came in a six-run sixth inning, capped by a towering three-run shot from 'El Bombi' that sent the remaining Twins fans heading for the exits. All told, six different Rangers went yard, a testament to the lineup's top-to-bottom power.
While the offense stole the headlines, Patrick Corbin quietly put together a solid outing to earn his first victory since May 14. The veteran lefty navigated five-plus innings, allowing three runs but also retiring 12 straight batters at one point. It was a gutsy performance that kept the Twins at bay while the offense built its insurmountable lead. Corbin has been a model of consistency, not allowing more than three earned runs in any of his 12 starts this season. Once he departed, the bullpen, including a scoreless appearance from Jack Leiter, slammed the door, holding Minnesota scoreless for the final four frames.
This offensive outburst brings the Rangers' season record to 33-36, and while the road record (13-23) still needs work, wins like this build serious momentum. The question now is whether this power surge is a sustainable trend or just a hot streak. The team heads home to face the Chicago White Sox next, but a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the rotation, as the club has yet to name a starter for the series opener. Fans will be hoping the bats traveled back to Texas with the team.
With the offense firing on all cylinders and setting season highs, the Rangers look like a team that can beat anyone on any given night. As they return home to face the White Sox, all eyes will be on the lineup to see if they can keep this incredible power surge going and start climbing back up the standings.
