Resilient Rangers rally, win fifth straight
Adrian Beltre delivers a clutch line-drive single into left field and drives in two runs to give the Rangers a 5-4 lead in the 8thThings got away from the Rockies in the eighth with left-hander Boone Logan on the mound. With one out, first baseman Mark Reynolds let Mitch Moreland's ground ball get past him for an error, and Logan hit Shin-Soo Choo with a pitch. Both runners moved up on Ian Desmond's grounder, and Carlos Beltran was walked intentionally.
Newly named Rockies closer Adam Ottavino took over, and Beltre smashed his hit past shortstop Cristhian Adames to put the Rangers ahead. Beltre now has 1,537 RBIs, tied with Joe DiMaggio for 47th all-time.
