Jordan Montgomery provided the foundation for Texas, working into the fourth with a scoreless effort and earning the win. Nathan Eovaldi followed with a hold as the Rangers protected their advantage.
Josh Jung homered in the first to give Texas the lead. In the sixth, Wyatt Langford's double brought Jung home, Danny Jansen's hit by pitch brought Brandon Nimmo across, and Evan Carter's sacrifice fly scored Langford. Toronto answered when Alejandro Kirk's single brought Andrés Giménez home, while Davis Schneider later homered, but neither rally threatened the Rangers' control.
Jose Soriano took the loss after Toronto fell behind during his outing. The Blue Jays' offense produced late responses through Kirk and Schneider, but Texas pitching kept the game from turning into a back-and-forth finish.
Texas extended its winning streak, while Toronto's losing streak continued. The game belonged to the Rangers' one-inning burst, with their early lead and Montgomery's steady work setting the tone.
