Texas Rangers Beat Tigers 10-4 as Nathan Eovaldi Pitches No-Hitter Into Fifth Inning

Nathan Eovaldi carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning Thursday as the Texas Rangers crushed the Detroit Tigers 10-4, according to Lancaster Online. The win gave Texas its seventh victory in eight games and matched a season high with 10 runs scored.
Three Rangers hit solo home runs: Elias Díaz, Josh Smith, and Evan Carter. Detroit mounted a three-run rally but could not slow Texas down, per Courier News.
Eovaldi was sharp from the start. He walked just one batter through four innings while keeping Detroit hitless, according to Seattle PI. The no-hit bid ended in the fifth, but by then Texas had already built a commanding lead.
Detroit did manage a three-run uprising after the no-hitter ended. But it was too little, too late. The Tigers could not overcome the Rangers' early offensive explosion, per HJ News.
Texas matched its season high by scoring 10 runs in the game. Díaz, Smith, and Carter each hit solo home runs to power the offense, according to Courier News. All three homers came at key moments to keep pressure on Detroit's pitching staff.
The win was Texas's seventh in its last eight games. The Rangers are playing some of their best baseball of the season heading into the series break, per Lancaster Online.
Before Thursday's game, Rangers starting pitchers had gone 35 straight games allowing no more than four runs. Eovaldi's outing ended that streak, according to Seattle PI. Still, the bullpen held firm and Texas cruised to the final score of 10-4.
The Rangers and Tigers series will take a break on Friday. The stadium will host a World Cup match between Australia and Egypt instead, according to HJ News. The baseball series is set to resume after the soccer game wraps up.
