Bloop hit gives the Rangers and Jon Gray a 2-1 victory over the Athletics
Heim sliced the fly ball with two outs in the seventh inning off rookie Jack Perkins (0-1), with shortstop Jacob Wilson calling for it as he drifted out. Left fielder Tyler Soderstrom, who entered the game in the sixth as a pinch-hitter, converged on Wilson. As they came together, Wilson dropped his head and arms as the ball dropped behind him.
Jon Gray (1-0) allowed one hit over two innings in relief of Patrick Corbin to win after being activated earlier today for the first time this season. Gray broke his arm March 15, resulting in Texas signing Corbin three days later.
Robert Garcia pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his eighth save in 11 opportunities.
Corey Seager gave Texas a 1-0 lead in the third inning by hitting a 3-2 fastball to dead center for his 15th home run.
The Athletics tied it in the sixth on Nick Kurtz’s double into right field after Brent Rooker hit a two-out single, ending an 0-for-15 slump.
Seager extended his on-base streak to 24 games, the longest active streak in the AL.
