Summary
Nathan Eovaldi carried Texas with seven innings of one-run ball on three hits and one walk, striking out eight on 91 pitches as the Rangers improved to 53-51.
Texas built a 5-0 cushion in the first two innings, helped by Seattle's shaky outfield defense, Wyatt Langford's leadoff damage and Ezequiel Duran's early run production.
Alejandro Osuna's two-run double in the seventh stretched the lead to 7-1 after Bryan Woo settled enough to complete five innings for Seattle.
The win pushed the Rangers back to two games above .500 and left them no worse than first in the AL West, with Houston moving ahead of Seattle into second.
