Semien drove Leody Taveras in on a single in the fourth, and the resulting 5-1 lead gave Rangers left-handed starter Martin Perez all the run support he needed to pick up the win. Perez (3-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings with three strikeouts and allowed only one run through his first five innings of work on a Bobby Witt Jr. home run. Perez finished with three runs and eight hits allowed.

With Nathaniel Lowe on from a walk and Adolis Garcia aboard, Jonah Heim's single loaded the bases to set the scene for Duran's game-altering double and 9-3 advantage. Brady Singer (1-2) took the loss for Kansas City, which has dropped 9 of 10, including six straight.
