Texas Rangers Take Series From Reds Behind Another Strong Dane Dunning Start, Show Of Power And Speed From Sluggers

The Texas Rangers picked up where they left off the night before, scoring four runs in the first inning and held off a late Cincinnati Reds rally to take the three-game series with a 4-3 win Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Field.

Adolis Garica and Wyatt Langford each hit two-run home runs in the first, including an inside-the-park homer for Langford, who recorded his first Major League home run after his blast to right-center field took an awkward bounce off the wall and away from two outfielders. Langford was running so fast around the bases that the Reds didn't even attempt a throw to the plate.

Dane Dunning struck out 10 and held the Reds to two runs (one earned) on three hits over 5.1 innings to improve to 3-2.

It's the Rangers first series win since taking 3 of 4 from the Tigers in Detroit on April 18. It's their first series win at home since taking 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs in the season-opening series.
