Nathan Eovaldi was solid through seven innings while Wyatt Langford and Ezequiel Duran each went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to help the Texas Rangers earn a 10-6 win against the New York Yankees on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas.
Eovaldi (11-7) struck out six while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks for the Rangers, who won the last two games of the three-game series.
Kirby Yates got the final out for his 26th save after New York sliced the gap on Trent Grisham's grand slam off Grant Anderson earlier in the frame.
The Rangers (67-73) have seven victories in their past nine games.
The Yankees (80-60) have lost six of eight.
Trailing by eight in the ninth inning, New York cut the deficit in half. Texas reliever Matt Festa recorded two outs, then walked three straight batters before he was pulled in favor of Anderson. Grisham went deep to right field, his eighth homer of the year, before the next two batters singled.
Yates then entered and got Giancarlo Stanton to fly out to left field.
The Rangers built their lead to 8-2 in the sixth inning. Josh Smith doubled, Langford walked and Nathaniel Lowe (3-for-5) hit an infield single to load the bases with one out.
That ended reliever Tim Mayza's outing, and Mark Leiter Jr. came in to face Adolis Garcia, who connected for a double to drive in Smith and Langford. Lowe made it 8-2 when he scored on a wild pitch with Josh Jung at the plate.
In the seventh, Texas' Leody Taveras drew a leadoff walk against Ron Marinaccio, stole second and scored on Duran's double. Langford brought in Duran with a single for a 10-2 advantage.
Yankees starter Marcus Stroman (10-7) got into trouble in the fourth.
After Duran and Travis Jankowski each connected for a one-out single, Smith's groundout drove in Duran to make it 3-0. Langford doubled to bring Jankowski home and then scored on Lowe's single to right field to extend the edge to 5-0, ending Stroman's outing.
New York cut it to 5-2 in the fifth. Gleyber Torres drew a two-out walk and Juan Soto, who went 3-for-3, followed with his 38th home run of the season over the left field wall.
Texas went ahead 2-0 over the first two innings. In the first, Langford singled, went to third on Lowe's ensuing single and scored on a Garcia grounder. Taveras led off the second with a double and Duran brought him in with a double.
Stroman gave up five runs on nine hits and a walk in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three.
