Rangers defeat Mariners 8-1, end four-game losing streak

The Texas Rangers broke a season-high four-game losing streak with an 8-1 win over the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by a six-run third inning featuring key two-run singles from Corey Seager and Adolis García. Jacob deGrom earned his second consecutive win, allowing just one run over five innings and surpassing 1,700 career strikeouts, the fastest to reach that mark in MLB history. Josh Smith stood out offensively for Texas with four hits, including a triple, and contributed both runs scored and RBIs. The victory ended Seattle's six-game winning streak and marked the Rangers' first win against the Mariners this season after five losses. Despite recent offensive struggles, the Rangers managed to combine timely hitting and strong pitching to secure the win. Seattle's Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford extended their respective hitting streaks in the loss.
