In this story:

The Texas Rangers were hard-luck losers on Friday but hope to turn it around when they face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

The Rangers (7-6) got an early lead with a three-run home run from Corey Seager in his old ballpark while starting pitcher Kumar Rocker managed to handle five innings against one of the toughest lineups in baseball, leaving the contest in line for the win.

But the Rangers bullpen faltered, Texas tied the game with a three-run ninth inning that included a two-run home run from Evan Carter before the Dodgers' Max Muncy ended the 8-7 LA win with a walk-off home run off Rangers left-hander Jacob Latz.

Now, the Rangers seek an equalizer on a Saturday night in LA.

Texas plays Los Angeles one more game on Sunday before moving on with its road trip as the Rangers head to Sacramento after that game to face the Athletics for four games. After that set, Texas moves on to Seattle to face the Mariners in a three-game series next weekend.
