ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rookie Wyatt Langford’s single scored pinch-runner Ezequiel Duran with two out in the ninth inning, giving the Texas Rangers a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Jonah Heim and Adolis García singled off David Bednar (3-6) to open Texas’ half of the ninth. Duran, running for Heim, advanced to third on a flyout to deep right field by Nathaniel Lowe. Bednar struck out Josh Jung on a 3-2 fastball after García stole second base. Langford then laced an RBI single to center field on a 2-1 curve. The Rangers, who have dropped from third in the majors in runs last year en route to winning the World Series to 18th, had been 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position before Langford’s single. “Anytime you’re in that situation you want to get a big hit,” Langford said. “It was cool to come through.”
