It took 10 innings, but the Tampa Bay Rays came out victorious against the Texas Rangers, 6-3.

The Rangers dominated game one, but the Rays came back with victories in the next two, proving exactly why they have the best record in the American League.

It's a tough loss for the Rangers as a two-run, eighth-inning rally was all for nothing.

Jacob Latz was asked to pitch both the ninth and 10th innings, and the Rays ended up getting to him in extras, handing him his first loss since Friday, April 10.

More specifically, it was Jonathan Aranda's three-run blast that saw the Rays improve to 85-57 while the Rangers fell to 70-73.

In a perfect world, Jacob deGrom wouldn't have given up his two earned runs, but for him to only allow four hits in six innings, the Rangers would take that every single start of his.

In the end, the Rangers offense simply didn't do their job in the 10th. Despite scoring a run in the sixth inning and then two more in the eighth, they couldn't even add the ghost runner that started at second base in extras.

The Rangers were outhit in this one, 10-6, and it's worth noting both Latz and Jakob Junis gave up runs in this one.

Usually, the trio of deGrom, Junis, and Latz would produce some of the best innings the Rangers have to offer, but in this one they allowed eight hits, three of which were home runs, in an 8.2-inning sample size.

The Rangers had a pair of solo homers in this game, but not a single player in their lineup had more than one hit in the game.

For reference, the Rays had four players finish this game with two hits. Obviously, that means they only had six players record their 10 hits, but still, they were at least getting more consistency out of those four players that contributed in a big way to their 85th win of the year.

Texas would've loved to see Latz pitch a clean 10th, but even if he did, this game likely would've seen an 11th inning, and who knows what would've happened from that point on.

Joc Pederson and Evan Carter provided the homers, but other than that, this was a team that struck out 10 times and didn't draw a single walk.
