Josh Jung delivers a decisive 10th-inning home run to secure a 8-5 victory for the Rangers against the Yankees.
Texas Rangers Secure Dramatic 10-Inning Victory Over New York Yankees
In a thrilling turn of events on August 4, 2025, the Texas Rangers clinched an 8-5 win over the New York Yankees, thanks to a walk-off three-run homer by rookie Josh Jung in the 10th inning.
Jung's crucial homer, which travelled 401 feet to left-center, came after pinch-hitter Joc Pederson had tied the game with a homer in the 9th inning. This was Jung's 11th homer of the season, demonstrating his rising form and importance to the Rangers, particularly since his return from injury.
The Yankees had initially taken a 4-3 lead in the 8th inning, but the Rangers fought back, with six consecutive batters reaching base in the 2nd inning for starter Max Fried. An errant pickoff throw contributed to a run, but Fried, despite leaving the game with a 5-4 lead, was denied a win.
The Rangers have been adding pieces at the Trade Deadline and are seeking consistency under manager Bruce Bochy, who emphasizes focus and determination for the remainder of the season. One of the recent acquisitions, Danny Coulombe, fielded an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play in the 10th inning and earned his first Rangers victory in the process.
For the Yankees, Will Warren (6-5, 4.64) is scheduled to pitch in their next game. Giancarlo Stanton has been making a strong comeback, having hit 10 homers in his 32 games since returning from elbow issues. Aaron Judge, meanwhile, started the game with a leadoff homer, marking the 9th time this season the Yankees have achieved this feat.
The Rangers, who have won 12 of their last 15 home games following a 2-5 trip, will look to maintain their momentum in the coming games. For the most current and detailed game schedule, official MLB sources or the Texas Rangers website would be the best references.
