ARLINGTON, Texas — As Edwin Diaz’s nasty slider dove past the flailing bat of Shin-Soo Choo for the final out of the game, manager Scott Servais put his head down for a moment and exhaled. A game that his team should have won with ease in nine innings instead became a 4-3 victory in 12 innings over the Rangers in the sauna that was Globe Life Park.
Ryon Healy broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the 12th singling past a diving Adrian Beltre into left and scoring Mitch Haniger with go-ahead run.
Diaz allowed a pair of singles in his outing, but notched his 42nd save of the season.
