On Road, Texas Drops Atlanta, 6-5
J.D. Martinez had a good game, but he could not keep the Atlanta Braves from falling, 6-5, to the Texas Rangers at Truist Park. The Atlanta designated hitter was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 in the loss. David Bednar recorded the save, his 6th. Atlanta falls to 11-9.

Texas used the timely hitting of Nick Fortes to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rangers on top, 6-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Fortes.
