Marcus Semien clobbers a 2-run HR for Texas

Sam Haggerty tied his career best with three hits and had three RBI, Josh Jung also had three hits and three RBI, and Wyatt Langford hit a two-run home run.

Haggerty scored the first of his three runs on a first-inning single by Josh Jung that ended a team-wide 0-for-30 drought.

They were held to three runs in their previous three games, shut out Wednesday and hitless after Josh Smith’s leadoff single in the first inning.

Caleb Boushley pitched the final three innings for first career save.

The Rangers prevented the Cardinals (32-25) from going nine games over .500 for the first time this season. They had 15 hits, three shy of their season high.

Lars Nootbaar doubled home Victor Scott II with the Cardinals’ run in the eighth inning.

Matthew Liberatore (3-4) allowed five runs in the first two innings, one unearned.

Key moment Haggerty’s two-run triple in the second inning sliced into the right-field corner off a 3-2 pitch.

Key stat Texas' pitching isn’t a problem. Its 2.81 rotation ERA leads the majors.

Up next Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (5-1, 4.06 ERA) was set to start Saturday against LHP Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.75).
