Rangers Take Sole Possession of AL West Lead, Quantrill Leaves with Injury in 6-3 Win over Blue Jays
Five relievers covered 8 1/3 innings as Texas won its sixth straight and pulled a half-game ahead of Houston.
- The Texas Rangers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 on Saturday in Arlington, Texas, moving into sole possession of the American League West lead for the first time since late August.
- Texas Rangers starter Cal Quantrill exited after 12 pitches due to right lat tightness, prompting manager Skip Schumaker to deploy five relievers who held Toronto to six hits.
- Replacing Quantrill, Jordan Montgomery pitched 3 2/3 hitless innings to earn his first win since Aug. 14, 2024, while Josh Jung sparked early offense with a solo home run.
- Quantrill is scheduled for an MRI on Sunday to evaluate the right lat tightness, as manager Skip Schumaker provided no further update on the pitcher's status after the game.
- With a half-game lead over Houston, the Rangers face RHP Jacob deGrom on Sunday, while the Blue Jays employ a bullpen game in the series finale.
