Josh Jung hits tiebreaking single in 9th inning as Rangers rally for 5-4 win
over Rockies
DENVER (AP) --- Josh Jung hit a go-ahead single in the ninth inning, Jake
Burger and Ezequiel Duran connected for back-to-back home runs, and the Texas
Rangers rallied past the Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Wednesday.
Joc Pederson reached on catcher's interference with one out in the ninth.
Consecutive singles loaded the bases, and Pederson scored the tying run on
Brett Sullivan's passed ball. Jung then singled off Juan Mejia, putting the
Rangers up 5-4.
Jung scored on Duran's two-run shot in the fourth, and Burger followed with
another homer that gave Texas a 3-1 lead.
Jacob Latz (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. He allowed one hit
and struck out four.
Brennan Bernardino (2-2) gave up two hits in the ninth. He was charged with a
pair of unearned runs.
Texas took two of three games in the series at Coors Field.
Rangers right fielder Brandon Nimmo left in the fifth with right hamstring
tightness after hitting a single.
