held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-8 on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep in a crucial AL West series.
Texas, in its first winning season since 2016, won the series opener and moved back into the division lead for the first time in about a month. They had led for all but one day before an August slide.Teoscar Hernández, who homered, drove in two runs along with Jarred Kelenic and Eugenio Suárez for the Mariners, who nearly erased deficits of five and four runs before getting swept for the second time in three series.
José Leclerc finished for his fourth save, with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe making a nifty snag of a sharp grounder down the line from pinch-hitter José Caballero for the final out with the potential tying run at second base. Semien's 27th homer that could have been an out on a spectacular play gave him 178 hits for the season, but Rodríguez retook the lead with two hits for 179 as they jockey for the AL lead in that category.
