Langford hists go-ahead homer, Rangers beat Athletics 5-3 to end 4-game skid

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Wyatt Langford hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 5-3 on Saturday night to end a four-game losing streak.

Corey Seager, Nicky Lopez, and Jarred Kelenic each drove in a run in the Rangers' 22nd comeback victory of the season.

Mackenzie Gore (7-9) threw 5 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on eight hits.

Henry Bolte hit a three-run homer for the Athletics in the second inning. Initially called a foul ball, replay review showed that the ball scraped the outside of the foul pole.

Lopez singled to center for the Rangers' first run of the game in the fifth, and Seager added another RBI single in the sixth. Langford then launched a 421-footer to left-center on the next pitch to give the Rangers a one-run lead. Kelenic drove in one more in the ninth as a pinch-hitter.

Three relievers combined for 3 1/3 hitless innings and Jacob Latz worked two frames for his 24th save.

For the A's, Bolte was 3-for-5 with his homer and a double, the sixth three-hit game for the 23-year-old rookie. J.T. Ginn (8-7) gave up four runs on eight hits and struck out seven in six innings of work.

Rangers LHP Cody Bradford (0-1, 2.38 ERA) was set to start against A's LHP Jacob Lopez (5-4, 5.38) on Sunday in the final game of the series.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — A passenger bus traveling on a highway in Hungary early Sunday went off the road and into a ditch where it overturned, killing 12 and injuring others, police said.

The bus, which carried Polish license plates, was traveling on eastbound lanes near the town of Mezokeresztes when it overturned on the M3 motorway around 140 kilometers (87 miles) east of Hungary’s capital, Budapest, at around 1 a.m. on Sunday.

In a statement, police said it was likely that the driver fell asleep, causing the accident, and that the driver had been taken into custody.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski wrote Sunday in a post on X that a “tragic bus accident involving Polish tourists” had occurred in Hungary and that his ministry was in contact with Hungarian authorities.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki expressed his “deep sorrow” over the accident.

“I join the families and loved ones of the victims in prayer and deep sympathy,” he wrote in a post on X.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar wrote in a statement on Facebook that at least 10 people were seriously injured in the crash. He offered his condolences to the families of the victims and thanked rescue workers who were dispatched to the scene.
