Texas Rangers vs. Athletics: Game Highlights

DeGrom (10-6) allowed two hits and walked one to help the Rangers win their fifth straight game.

DeGrom, the Rangers’ only All-Star pick this season, had been 0-4 in his last five starts — all Texas losses — since his previous win July 22 in his first start after the break. That included a stretch when Texas skipped one of his starts because of shoulder fatigue.

Josh Smith walked to leadoff the game, Wyatt Langford struck out and Pederson hit a 3-2 pitch from J.T. Ginn (2-6) down the line and over the wall in right field to make it 2-0.

Josh Jung homered off Ginn to lead off the second and doubled to drive in Adolis García in the ninth.

Smith hit an RBI double and scored when Pederson doubled with two out in the fifth to give the Rangers a 5-0 lead.

Langford drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home Ezequiel Duran before Helman singled to drive in Smith and make it 7-0

Key moment Pederson's first-inning homer.

Key stat The Athletics, who have been swept nine times this season, were swept at home for the first time since May 19-22 by the Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers swept a road series for the first time this season.

Up next Luis Morales (2-0, 1.19 ERA) was set to pitch for the Athletics on Monday in St. Louis against Sonny Gray (12-7, 4.19). Patrick Corbin (7-9, 4.33 ERA) was scheduled to take the mound for Texas on Monday night at Arizona against Ryne Nelson (7-3, 3.53).
