Ronald Guzman went 4-for-4 with three RBIs and Shin-Soo Choo hit a home run for Texas, which snapped the Mariners' four-game winning streak.

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.

A walk to Joey Gallo loaded the bases for Odor, who was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and had left four runners on base. Odor lined a 2-2 pitch into the left field corner, clearing the bases.
