Reliever Grant Anderson shone for the Detroit team as he stuck out seven of the nine batters he faced after replacing starter Martin Perez in fifth inning.
Texas second baseman Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to a career-best 19 games with a fifth-inning single. Jonah Heim drove in four runs, Josh Jung homered and had three runs and Aroldis Garcia had four hits and three runs.
“Our offense really came through when we needed them tonight,” the Rangers head-coach Bruce Bochy said. “It’s good to see Jonah swinging the bat like that, but it was everyone up and down the lineup.”
For Detroit Miguel Cabrera had three hits and drove in two runs, surpassing Ken Griffey Jr. for 15th place with 5, 272 total bases.
