Rangers 3, Rays 2 (14):
Adam Rosales drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the 14th inning as host Texas outlasted Tampa Bay.

The Rangers loaded the bases against Cesar Ramos (2-5) on an error and two singles but Elvis Andrus popped to shallow right for the second out. Ramos then threw four straight balls to Rosales as the Rays remained six games out of the second wild-card spot in the American League.

Scott Baker (1-3) got the win with two of the bullpen's seven scoreless innings in relief of starter Nick Tepesch, who took a no-hitter into the fifth and allowed two runs in seven frames. Leonys Martin had four hits and Rougned Odor added three hits and a sacrifice fly for Texas.

Ben Zobrist's sacrifice fly snapped a scoreless tie in the top of the sixth and Matt Joyce followed with a triple before scoring on an overthrow to give the Rays a 2-0 lead. Odor's RBI and Shin-Soo Choo's run-scoring double tied it in the seventh, but Choo was thrown out trying to score on Andrus' base hit to end the rally and the score remained tied for seven more frames.

Tampa Bay center fielder Desmond Jennings made a sensational catch while crashing into the wall to end the eighth with a runner on second and Texas left fielder Daniel Robertson finished the top of the 12th with a highlight-reel grab in the corner. Robertson was stranded after a two-out triple in the 13th before the Rays wasted Evan Longoria's one-out double off Baker in the 14th.
