Trailing Effort
The Texas Rangers attempted to hold off a late-inning surge from the New York Mets, but ultimately fell short in a 6-3 loss on Wednesday.

The Mets extended their advantage in the sixth inning when Soto doubled to center field, driving in two runs. Volpe added another run with a sacrifice fly to first base, pushing the score to 5-3.
