Mets Defeat Rangers 5-2 in Extra Innings Ending Six-Game Streak

The Texas Rangers' six-game winning streak ended with a 5-2 loss to the New York Mets in 10 innings, snapping their recent momentum as they remain behind in the AL West and Wild Card races. The Rangers tied the game in the seventh inning with a key two-run single by Joc Pederson, but Pete Alonso's three-run homer in the 10th inning sealed the Mets' victory. Despite the loss, the Rangers have been bolstered recently by the return of right fielder Adolis Garcia from the injured list, aiming to boost their lineup ahead of an important series against the Houston Astros. Earlier in the series, the Rangers had rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2, with Wyatt Langford delivering the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning. Texas continues to fight for playoff positioning, trailing both the Astros and Mariners by two games and eyeing a wild card spot as the regular season nears its end. The upcoming series against Houston is particularly significant for the Rangers' postseason hopes.
