Rangers vs. Athletics Game Highlights (8/31/25) | MLB Highlights

Rangers offense, which has been such a struggle all season is really starting to pick it up and that has put them into the wild card standings over the last 15 games, a 10 5 record with just an out pouring of. It’s JT 12th start of the season for JT coming off an outing into the Detroit Tigers. He was looking for a little bounce back. Maybe the pitch count monster got him and there you go right off the bat. Good patience by josh Smith. The leadoff one and Peterson is coming up next. He’s riding an eight game hitting streak. Peterson Hammers went down the line if it’s fair, it’s gone right off the bat. The Rangers get back to work with the sticks. Jock Peterson, a monumental home run way up on the Berm down the right field line for Jock Peterson. And the Rangers grab an early 20 lead. DeGrom who’s had a little bit of an issue keeping the ball in the yard of still found a way to minimize damage. In fact, the Rangers have lost his last five starts back to the mound and deGrom f it in his glove. I feel like sometimes a pitcher might reach for it a little too early, but deGrom just let that one find its home in its mid 32 Durant. Another chance this time he plays the hop of the belt and Jacob deGrom executes the shutdown innings. Josh Young white hot bat right now, josh Young unloads to left center Cortez back turns, the jungle cat delivers again a solo home run and the Rangers lead three nothing and he stays locked in 10th hit over the last four games. His 13th home run of the season on the first pitch of the second inning two gone here in the top of the third. But now a runner in scoring position for Adolis garcia that swung on up the middle diving stop by Kello gets up and throw great play by zack to his right. What a play by the second baseman. What a ridiculous effort from Zack Goff. That’s fine play a with just one hit among their first seven batters against deGrom and a swing and a miss slider low and outside. And right now deGrom with pretty good location on that slider. A two out walk, the first free pass issued by deGrom. And that will way for Jacob Wilson to come up the other way in front of Garcia Wilson takes that pitch the other way singles to right and the A now at 1st and 2nd with a time run coming home played and Brent Rooker swinging the ball lifted out in the center field, Helman frozen for a moment but he will retreat a couple of steps and he makes the catch to get Rooker for the final out of the inning. Jonah last nine games, he’s been swinging the bat. Well, 32 good take by Jonah. But they say he went around doesn’t like, it didn’t seem like he went around another strikeout for Gin. He sat down six straight Cortez struck out his first time. Jacob with three strikeouts, one walk strike three call, another borderline call. That’s the fourth strikeout for Jacob as he works with a three to nothing lead. And he said, I’m watching it from here. It’s not a strike. Thomas into the air. Garcia calls off Durant 123 innings for Jacob deGrom on just nine pitches. He picks up stolen base number two gets himself in the scoring position for smith. Now Smith comes up for the third time having walked and singled today. Swings and lines, right. It’s a base hit over the leap of Sram at first that goes all the way to the wall and scores Helman smith on his way to second. The throw is way off line and the Rangers lead it by the score of four to nothing on a double by josh smith. That’s his 33rd run batted ball that’s bounce to third sliding play by don’t know how he was able to make that play, but brett Harris is sure handed as they come at third. What a ridiculous play by brett Harris knee slide up and fire and quickly and here’s Peterson who drove in the first two runs with a long home run to right. That one flared along the line. Tough chance and that one drops Harris an incredible effort. Unable to make the play Peterson digging for two. He’s safe RB. I double for Jack Peterson three RBIs for Peterson today and the Rangers lead five to nothing in the fifth. Jacob deGrom takes a 50 lead to the mound for the bottom of the fifth inning. Strike three call on the outside corner, borderline call that goes to Graham’s way and the crowds getting a little surly here there is one away. DeGrom has retired five in a row. Now, two outs, zack coming up next to swung on and missed. He chased the slider way outside and deGrom now is set down seven in a row. He has punched out six this afternoon. Duran getting on base for Helman who walked his last time up and Durant goes, but he holds up. He hits back to the mound and Alvarado boots it and Then he boots it again. That’s not one that he’s going to want the video of to circulate anywhere. Smith draws the walk, his second walk drawn. He has been on base all four times up. The Rangers have them loaded here with nobody out for Wyatt Langford outside ball four RB. I walk for w and he’s reached in 20 straight games. Adolis zero for three struck out swinging his last time line drive base hit right field. Helman scores. Smith held at third. Adolis hit two strikes with the approach we’ve seen since he’s come off the IL punches that one into right to give Texas a seven nothing lead. Just two hits on the afternoon, two on the ground to third backhanded by young long throw and Tales receives it. Thomas immediately pointing to the dugout. I think he’s saying Tales was off the bag. Marca is asking for a review question is, was rowdy’s foot still on the bag. Great tremendous play after the call on the is confirmed. The runner is out that but a quill now three walks this inning, the bases are loaded, bases loaded, one out for Langford, zero for three and the bases loaded. Walk down back. Did that go in our booth? No way. Did that go to Dallas Braden is so upset. He’s never had a ball in the booth that one went in our booth picks it up and there’s the realization that one driven out to right field, not a grand slam but should score a run. He tags from third and the Rangers lead eight nothing but you’re at the bullpen now, three straight hits the bases loaded. You have Jacob wilson just keep passing the baton right. You’re down eight bases loaded one out left center field that’s dropping down fast. Homeland dives it and drops down for a hit. Harris scores. Here comes G wilson slides into second base two RB I double and the A are finally on the board. Wilson is three for four, Shane Armstrong has been the guy in the month of August to put out the fires. This will be his 58th game. Chopper is short in to score as Butler Rooker drives home the third ace run but it is the second out and here’s so is zero for three, first pitch line drive down the line, get into the corner. Wilson scores Soderstrom into second base. He’ll take a turn around second but stop there with an RB I double and he is getting up off the deck and it’s a four run eighth inning and now they’re down 45 hits in the inning. Carlos zero for three, no pitch to left center Soderstrom scores carte to second base a tough and now the is, are very much alive and this one is charged to Armstrong. So that puts an end to his scoreless month of August. Now that one on the ground is short Smith and the inning comes to an end. There’s an error on the pitcher Ferguson on the errant pick off throw and garcia now in scoring position, the other hot guy in the lineup, josh Young and on Cranks one left center Butler on his horse can get it off the wall. Garcia scores Josh Young an RB I double is the Rangers extend their lead to 954 straight games with multiple hits for young, 32 year old right hander Phil Maton on to try and close out this ball game with the Rangers leading 9 to 5 and goes to second base are down to their final out in a four run game and he does it to right center driving home but had a steam around first. He will pull the second standing up with an RB I double. The A are not going down quietly. It’s a 9 to 6 game. It is 96 Texas. The Rangers led eight to nothing going to the bottom of the eighth inning. Wilson who already has three hits coming up groundball right side. This should do it to a race to the bag. He wins it ball game. Rangers, they complete the sweep might not have been printed, but it doesn’t matter because another w locked in for temp.
