ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSNewYork/AP) — Lance Lynn struck out 10, getting his career-high 16th win as the Texas Rangers closed out the 26th and final season at their ballpark with a 6-1 win over the AL East champion New Yankees on Sunday.
After Aaron Judge’s 27th homer in the third inning tied the game at 1-1, Lynn (16-11) retired his last 14 batters while pitching against the team he finished 2018 with.
New York, which plays Minnesota in the Division Series starting Friday, went 103-59, an improvement of three wins from last year and the team’s best record in a decade.
