30-33 - Duran saves a prayer for the 9th, Rangers win 3-1

The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Detroit Tigers scored one run.

Down 1-0, having failed to support their journeyman hurler having a career year and another excellent start, with only three hits as a team on the evening, the Rangers turned to Ezequiel Duran with the bases loaded and no more outs to give against Detroit closer Gregory Soto.

What followed was what has transpired nearly every chance the rookie has gotten. He came through.

This time it was a two-out triple that cleared the bases and eventually rescued the Rangers from what had all the makings of a disappointing defeat.
