Semien has game-ending hit for Rangers in 10th to beat Braves after earlier shot to helmet

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Marcus Semien hit an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Saturday night, seven innings after the second baseman took a 94.6 mph fastball to the helmet.

Semien's solid shot up the middle off Enyel De Los Santos (3-3) gave the Rangers their fifth straight victory. It came after the Braves intentionally walked Corey Seager to start the 10th.

Atlanta took 5-4 lead in the ninth. Michael Harris II led off with an opposite-field triple for his fourth extra-base hit, and scored on Sean Murphy's pinch-hit sacrifice fly.
