Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford hits walk-off grand slam to beat Aaron Judge, Yankees

Wyatt Langford saved the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

With bases loaded and a full count in the bottom of the ninth inning, the rookie outfielder drilled a perfect walk-off grand slam to stun the New York Yankees and give the Rangers the 7-4 win. Naturally, that sparked a massive celebration at Globe Life Field.

The home run was Langford’s 10th of the season, and his second in as many days after he hit a two-run shot in their 8-4 loss to the Yankees on Monday. Langford entered Tuesday’s game with a .243 batting average. He now has 63 RBI to go with his 11 home runs.

The Yankees jumped up 4-1 on Tuesday night, thanks in part to a two-RBI single from Anthony Volpe in the eighth. But Josh Jung — who hit a solo home run in the fourth — hit an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning before Nathaniel Lowe added another run after he hit a sac fly to center field. That set up Langford’s final home run to lift the Rangers to the three-run win.

The Rangers now hold a 66-73 record after the win, which marked their sixth in their last eight games. They still sit in third in the AL West, and are 8.5 games out of the final wild-card spot.
