Cody Freeman, Josh Jung and Adolis Garcia hit home runs and the Texas Rangers swamped the Cleveland Guardians on Aug. 23.

The Texas Rangers nearly lost because of four consecutive pitches that almost unraveled a game’s worth of effort. They instead won because of three consecutive pitches that sparked an expedited rally.

A clutch two-run double by Jose Ramirez put the Guardians up in the 8th, but Cade Smith blew the save in the 9th in a brutal loss to the Rangers.
