With four games remaining in the season, Seager now has 13 RBI. His home run on Monday is his first since April 27 and his third of 2024.
“It’s a necessary quality to have the resilience to keep going,” Seager said to Bally Sports Southwest. “We’re going to compete by showing up every day and playing until the last out. All you can ask of a team is that.
To extend their lead, the Rangers scored one more run in the ninth inning.
