Danny Jansen’s two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning drove in Alejandro Osuna with the winning run in the Texas Rangers’ 6-5 walk-off victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.

The Rangers were down to their last out but scored three runs with two outs. Ezequiel Duran doubled home Josh Jung to make the score 5-4 against Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald (0-4). Osuna walked, and Jake Burger’s single to left tied the game.

Sewald, who blew his first save of the season in 10 chances, was removed, and reliever Juan Morillo gave up the winning hit to Jansen on his first pitch.

Burger went 2-for-4 with four RBIs. Jung and Evan Carter each went 2-for-4 with a run, while Osuna scored twice. The Rangers took two of three games in the series against the Diamondbacks, and Texas has won four of its past five.

Cal Quantrill (2-0) got all three outs in the top of the ninth for Texas.

Ildemaro Vargas gave the Diamondbacks a 5-3 lead with a two-run single in the top of the ninth, after Arizona trailed by three.

The Diamondbacks went into the ninth inning 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. The first four hitters of the inning reached base, including Nolan Arenado, who doubled in a run to knot the game at 3-all.

The next batter was Vargas, hitless on the night until he lined a single to left-center field to drive in Geraldo Perdomo and Arenado.

The Rangers broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning when Burger hit a three-run home run just inside the right field foul pole off Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson. It was Burger’s seventh home run of the season.

Nelson struck out eight in seven innings. He allowed three runs on four hits, no walks and a hit batter.

The Diamondbacks made it 3-1 in the top of the sixth on doubles by Arenado and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Arizona cut Texas’ lead to one an inning later with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly from Arenado that allowed Ketel Marte to score.

The Diamondbacks had runners at second and third in the top of the eighth inning with Marte, one of their top players, up to bat against Rangers reliever Tyler Alexander. Marte, who finished 2-for-4 on the night, bounced out to shortstop to end the inning.

Arenado also went 2-for-4, scored twice and drove in a pair for Arizona, which stranded 13 runners.

Texas starter Kumar Rocker pitched five scoreless innings, striking out three. He allowed three hits and four walks.
