The decisive eighth inning began with Cole Young's two-run single to center that scored Raley and Canzone, extending Seattle's lead to 6-1. Leo Rivas followed with a sacrifice fly to center that brought Young home, capping the five-run outburst that put the game away.
Nathan Eovaldi absorbed the loss for Texas, surrendering eight hits and four runs over five innings. With a 5.06 ERA, Eovaldi fell to 2-3 despite a solid effort that kept the Rangers within striking distance until Seattle's late surge.
The victory snapped Seattle's four-game losing streak, improving their record to 8-13. Texas saw their two-game winning streak end, falling to 11-9. Kirby now sits two wins away from 50 career victories.
