ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ezequiel Duran drove in four runs, the last on a game-ending double, and the Texas Rangers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Tuesday night to snap a season-worst six-game losing streak that knocked them out of the AL West lead.
Duran won it with a hit that bounced into the right-field seats, an inning after he lined a one-hopper off that wall for a two-run double that put the Rangers up 4-2. He also had an RBI single in the first inning, a night after going 4 for 4 with a homer for their only run in the series opener.
Jake Burger, who entered in the top of the ninth as a defensive replacement, led off the bottom of the inning with a double off Dylan Smith (0-4), the sixth Giants pitcher.
San Francisco got even in the ninth when pinch-hitter Bryce Eldridge hit a two-run single off All-Star closer Jacob Latz (3-1). It was Latz's third blown save in 24 chances this season. He allowed two hits, a walk and a wild pitch.
Corey Seager and Brandon Nimmo both had three hits for Texas. Seager, the two-time World Series MVP who has missed 54 games this year because of three stays on the injured list, is hitting .201 — the first time he’s been over .200 since May 8.

Osleivis Basabe hit a two-run homer with two outs in the Giants seventh off Chase Silseth. The right-hander was making his first home appearance since being acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Angels last Wednesday.
Silseth took over after starter MacKenzie Gore pitched three-hit ball over six scoreless innings, with four strikeouts and three walks.
Up next
In the series finale Wednesday, left-hander Cody Bradford is set to make his first start for Texas since the end of 2024 after recovering from elbow surgery. Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt (2-2, 6.63 ERA) will pitch for the Giants.
