ARLINGTON, Texas -- Wyatt Langford hit a game-ending grand slam off All-Star closer Clay Holmes to give the Texas Rangers a 7-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, dropping them out of the American League East lead.

Langford hit the first walk-off slam by a Rangers rookie, sending Holmes (2-5) to his major league-high 11th blown save in 40 chances. Texas overcame a 4-1, eighth-inning deficit.

"I think everyone likes those moments," said Langford, the first Rangers player with three walk-off hits in a season since Josh Hamilton in 2011.
