Josh Jung and Justin Foscue homer as Rangers win 6-0 to end Cubs' 10-game winning streak

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Jung and Justin Foscue homered, Alejandro Osuna had a pair of RBI singles and the Texas Rangers beat the Cubs 6-0 on Saturday night, ending Chicago's second 10-game winning streak of the season.

Jung, who finished with three hits, led off the second inning with a homer to snap an 0-for-13 skid since a 13-game hitting streak. Foscue's first career homer leading off the fifth made it a 5-0 lead for the Rangers, who had lost five of six games.

Jalen Beeks (2-1) retired all four batters he faced after relieving Jack Leiter, the Texas starter who had to work around nine baserunners and threw 97 pitches over 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Cole Winn and Gavin Collyer followed Beeks to wrap up the Rangers' four-hitter and fourth shutout this year.

Edward Cabrera (3-1) allowed five runs in five innings. He struck out six and walked one.

Chicago (27-13) was held scoreless for the fourth time after winning 20 of its previous 23 games, with those 10-game streaks sandwiching a three-game skid. It was the first time since 1935 that the Cubs had multiple 10-game win streaks in the same season.

Cubs left fielder Ian Happ extended his on-base streak to 30 games when he drew a walk in the first inning. The only longer active streak in the majors is 33 games by the Athletics' Nick Kurtz, who had two doubles Saturday in a 6-2 win over Baltimore.

Leiter allowed multiple runners in each of the first four innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked five, including his last batter to fall one out shy of qualifying for the win.

Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is hitting .197 after going 0 for 4 with three inning-ending strikeouts. The two-time World Series MVP is 6 for 47 (.128) with 19 strikeouts his last 12 games.

Jacob deGrom (2-2, 3.11 ERA) starts the series finale Sunday for Texas, and Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.24) is set to go for the Cubs.

PHOENIX (AP) — Merrill Kelly bounced back from three straight shaky starts to pitch seven effective innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Mets 2-1 for a much-needed win on Saturday night.

Kelly (2-3) allowed a run on three hits and Paul Sewald worked a perfect ninth for his eighth save in as many chances. It was Arizona's third win in 11 games.

Mets starter Clay Holmes (4-3) allowed a two-run single to Ildemaro Vargas in the third inning, but was otherwise sharp, allowing two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

He got little help from the Mets' offense. New York had three hits a night after pulling out a 3-1 win in 10 innings over the Diamondbacks.

Kelly was much better after allowing 19 earned runs over 13 2/3 innings his previous three starts.

The right-hander allowed Brett Baty's run-scoring single in the second inning and stranded two in the fifth after Tyrone Taylor's two-out double. Kelly struck out six and walked three.

Arizona's starters have pitched at least six innings in five straight starts for the first time since doing it in six straight last September.

Holmes held the Angels to an earned run in 6 2/3 innings his last start and was sharp again.

The right-hander worked around Adrian Del Castillo's leadoff double in the second inning before running into trouble when Arizona loaded the bases in the third. Vargas lined a two-run single, but Holmes retired the next nine batters until being lifted following Nolan Arenado's two-out single in the sixth.

Holmes had six strikeouts and two walks. He's allowed two or fewer earned runs in all eight starts this season.

RHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-0, 2.50) will pitch the series finale for the Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Mets have yet to name a starter.
