Watch: Wild-pitch walkoff gives Rangers opening-series victory over Chicago Cubs

The Rangers season is officially off to a winning start.

Texas took home a dramatic victory on Sunday to claim the 2019 season's opening series against the Chicago Cubs.

How did they do it? The reliable wild-pitch walkoff.

In an 11-10 win that featured a start from former Ranger Cole Hamels, a grand slam from Delino DeShields, and a birthday jack from Rangers catcher Jeff Mathis -- both teams saved maybe the best highlight for last on Sunday afternoon.

The Rangers (2-1) kick off a series against AL West rival Houston on Monday night.
