ARLINGTON, Texas. The Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 Monday night after Jake Burger hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the sixth inning and Jacob deGrom and five relievers combined on a two-hitter, while Cal Raleigh homered for Seattle in the first. The win ended a four-game Rangers losing streak and left the Mariners with three consecutive losses this week; deGrom reported right-knee tenderness before the start and was limited to five innings, and the Rangers' staff said they would not push him after the outing.
