Corey Seager carried Texas's offense and Cal Quantrill held Arizona in check long enough to matter. The Rangers beat the Diamondbacks 7-6 on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in Phoenix, with Seager going 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI to pace a road win that required every out of the bullpen to secure. Jacob Latz earned the save despite a rocky ninth inning, and Texas walked away with a one-run victory that was far tighter than anyone in the Rangers' dugout probably wanted.

Seager and Quantrill Stake Texas to an Early Advantage

Seager was the engine of this offense. The Rangers shortstop collected three hits across his five at-bats, including a home run, and drove in three runs — enough production to be the difference in a one-run game. Josh Jung added two hits and an RBI from the third spot, while Brandon Nimmo chipped in two hits and an RBI of his own. Texas manufactured seven runs against a Diamondbacks pitching staff that bent repeatedly before finally giving way.

Quantrill did his part on the mound. The right-hander worked six clean innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and zero walks. That kind of efficient, no-walk outing gave the Rangers a foundation to work from, and Texas's offense made sure it counted.

Arizona Made It Interesting Late

The Diamondbacks did not go quietly. Nolan Arenado — playing for Arizona in this one — went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI, providing the bulk of the home team's damage. Gabriel Moreno added a solo shot, and Geraldo Perdomo went 3-for-4 to keep the lineup churning. Eduardo Rodriguez, the Arizona starter, gave up three earned runs over 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts and eight hits allowed before exiting with the deficit in hand.

The bullpen situation grew tense late. Tyler Alexander, who followed Quantrill in the seventh, surrendered two earned runs on two hits and a walk in one inning — the moment the Rangers' lead began to feel fragile. Robert Garcia steadied things with a scoreless eighth, allowing two hits but keeping the runs off the board.

Latz Closes It Out Despite the Drama

The ninth inning was anything but clean. Jacob Latz, called on to close it out, allowed three hits and a walk while giving up two earned runs — making a 7-4 lead look very much like a 7-6 nail-biter. But he recorded the strikeout that ended it, and Texas held on. The win was credited to Quantrill. The loss went to Rodriguez.

The Rangers leave Phoenix with a road win in hand. Texas's next scheduled games will determine how they build on this result as September progresses. Watch for how manager Bruce Bochy — if available — structures the bullpen after leaning on four relievers here, and whether Seager's big night carries any momentum into the next series.
