ARLINGTON — As the Rangers geared up to open the second half of the 2025 season against the Tigers, fans and media alike circled a Sunday Night Baseball matchup between a pair of aces in Tarik Skubal and Nathan Eovaldi.
But to open the series on Friday, Patrick Corbin and Reese Olson put on a show of their own as the Rangers and Tigers entered the eighth inning locked in a scoreless stalemate.
The Rangers entered the eighth with just two hits, a single from Kyle Higashioka and a double from Jonah Heim. Texas was 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.
The Rangers’ shortstop delivered a two-out, two-run double in the right-center gap in the eighth inning, propelling Texas to a 2-0 win to get back to .500. Seager also extended his on-base streak to 19 games, which is the longest by a Ranger this year.
