ARLINGTON, Texas — Adolis García delivered his sixth career walk-off hit with an RBI single with two out in the 11th inning to give the Texas Rangers a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.
García hit a line drive to the wall in center field on the first pitch from reliever Tyler Alexander (3-7), scoring automatic runner Evan Carter, who had entered then after being out of the starting lineup because of right wrist soreness. It was the only hit allowed by Alexander in three innings.
Rangers starter Jacob deGrom allowed two runs in six innings and struck out six, and trailed 2-1 when he left after 82 pitches. Jacob Latz (1-0) pitched two hitless innings and struck out three for the win.
Chicago's Kyle Teel has sacrifice fly in the fourth, and Luis Robert Jr. followed with an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.
Josh Smith doubled leading off the fifth and scored on a one-out double by Corey Seager, cutting the deficit to 2-1. Smith had his sixth consecutive two-hit game and scored twice.
Wyatt Langford led off the seventh with a single, and Seager walked for a career-high ninth straight game before Marcus Semien's RBI double. Seager then scored on a wild pitch for a 3-2 lead.
Mike Tauchman tied it with an RBI single in the eighth for Chicago, but the Rangers went back ahead on a White Sox error in the bottom of the inning. Michael A. Taylor's pinch-hit RBI double off Texas closer Robert Garcia with two out in the ninth tied the game at 4.
