With the score tied 5-5, the Rangers loaded the bases in the ninth against Seattle closer Edwin Diaz (0-2).
Jurickson Profar lined a single to right and one out later, Isiah Kiner-Falefa executed a hit-and-run play, grounding a single into right field as second baseman Andrew Romine covered the bag after Profar took off.
