Rangers Earn 5-4 Win Versus Diamondbacks
Chase Field was the site of a competitive game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers faced a tough opponent in Arizona pitcher William Birkeland, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Chase Field by a final score of 5-4. Birkeland went 7.1 innings and allowed 3 runs. The Diamondbacks, at 58-59, have lost 4 straight games.

Texas used a clutch hit from Dumadi Mainaky to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a doozy.

"It was a solid team effort," said Mainaky after the game.
