Rangers Sweep Rays with Walk-Off Victory, Improve Season Record

The Texas Rangers completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 4-3 walk-off victory on April 6, 2025, marking their fifth consecutive win and improving their record to 8-2. Jonah Heim drove in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the ninth, scoring Josh Smith, who had doubled earlier in the inning. The Rangers had built leads of 1-0 and 3-1, but the Rays managed to tie the game twice before the Rangers secured the win. Corey Seager contributed with his first home run of the season, while Kumar Rocker rebounded from a poor outing in his debut to pitch five innings of one-run ball. The Rays, now 4-5, have lost four straight games and will face the Los Angeles Angels next. This series showcased the Rangers' ability to overcome challenges and respond well after earlier setbacks.
