    Texas Rangers left fielder Wyatt Langford (36), second baseman Marcus Semien (2), designated hitter Josh Jung (6), right fielder Adolis Garcia (53), starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (17), catcher Carson Kelly (18) and third baseman Josh Smith (8) celebrate after the Rangers defeat the Minnesota Twins in extra innings at Globe Life Field.

    After the Minnesota Twins took an early 4-0 lead in Sunday's matchup against the Texas Rangers, it appeared they would coast to another victory. However, they collapsed.

    Things unraveled for the Twins in the seventh inning when the Rangers scored five runs. Texas right fielder Adolis Garcia hit a 389-foot, two-run homer to tie the game at 4-4. Then third baseman Josh Jung hit a 420-foot dinger, helping the Rangers take a 5-4 lead.

    In the top of the ninth inning, Twins first baseman Carlos Santana homered to right field, which sent the game into extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th inning, Garcia scored on a throwing error.

    The comeback was a huge win for the Rangers (57-68). The defending World Series champions are third in the American League West, trailing by 11 games. To get back in the playoff hunt, they need to start stacking victories.

    Meanwhile, the Twins (70-54) are second in the AL Central behind the Cleveland Guardians (72-52) and trail by two games. Minnesota could still win the division, but losing to the Rangers is a setback.
