LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Lorenzen pitched a season-high seven innings, rookie Wyatt Langford had two RBI singles and the Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Thursday night to win a series at Dodger Stadium for the first time since 1999.
“Just a terrific job how they battled and played defense,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said.
Rangers reliever David Robertson struck out MVPs Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in succession for the second straight night — the only pitcher to do so this season — to preserve a 3-1 lead in the eighth.
“I just had to dig deep,” Robertson said. “We walked away with a series, which we haven't had in a while.”
