Josh Jung Walk-Off Homer Lifts Rangers Over Yankees

Josh Jung returned to the Texas Rangers lineup as designated hitter after missing four games with a calf injury, delivering a walk-off three-run homer in the 10th inning for an 8-5 win over the New York Yankees. The Rangers, who have struggled against left-handed pitching this season, particularly benefited from Jung's right-handed bat during a stretch against several lefty starters. Joc Pederson tied the game with a pinch-hit home run in the ninth, helping set up Jung's heroics. The win marked Texas' seventh consecutive home victory and sustained their strong momentum since the All-Star break. Yankees starter Max Fried lasted five innings but could not earn his league-leading 13th win, while Paul Goldschmidt and Giancarlo Stanton homered for New York as the Yankees suffered their fourth straight loss. Jung avoided a stint on the injured list and remains a key offensive asset for the Rangers.
