Rangers Kyle Higashioka Drives 7-4 Win Over Padres with 5 RBIs

News summary

Kyle Higashioka had a standout performance, driving in five runs including a two-run homer, to lead the Texas Rangers to a 7-4 victory over the San Diego Padres and even the weekend series. Higashioka, formerly with the Padres, went 3-for-3 with multiple RBIs and a sacrifice fly, while the Rangers' bottom lineup hitters contributed significantly to the scoring. Patrick Corbin pitched six strong innings, allowing just two runs to earn the win, supported by reliever Shawn Armstrong's third save. The Padres were led by Josh Smith's leadoff home run and Jake Cronenworth's two-run homer, but struggled with clutch hitting, leaving 10 runners on base. San Diego starter Stephen Kolek gave up six runs on nine hits across 5 1/3 innings, continuing a tough stretch for the pitcher. Despite out-hitting the Padres 11-10 and Luis Arraez's 4-for-5 effort, the Padres fell short in their attempt to extend their recent dominance over Texas.
