ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Nathan Eovaldi weathered a three-run Detroit uprising after taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning and Elias D\u00edaz, Josh Smith and Evan Carter hit solo home runs to help the Texas Rangers beat the Tigers 10-4 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Rangers matched a season high with 17 hits en route to their seventh victory in eight games. The Tigers arrived at Globe Life Field after sweeping three games at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n
Eovaldi (9-7) allowed only one walk through four innings and matched a season high with nine strikeouts in winning his fourth consecutive start, pitching five-plus innings. Detroit\u2019s Colt Keith led off the fifth by homering on an 0-2 cut fastball above the strike zone. Hao-Yu Lee added a two-run homer that barely cleared the wall in left, just beyond Alejandro Osuna\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n
Eovaldi allowed five hits in the fifth inning and was pulled leading 5-3 after Riley Greene led off the sixth with a double. Peyton Gray, Texas\u2019 third pitcher in the sixth, struck out Lee with the bases loaded to end the inning.<\/p>\n
D\u00edaz\u2019s home run came in Texas\u2019 three-run second inning, his second in two games.<\/p>\n
Smith, recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday after previously missing 37 games primarily due to viral meningitis, hammered a first-pitch fastball for his first homer of the season and his first career pinch-hit homer in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Carter, activated from the injured list on Sunday, homered in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Osuna and Nicky Lopez each had three hits.<\/p>\n
Framber Valdez (4-6) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks in five innings. That ended Detroit\u2019s club-record 35-game streak of starting pitchers allowing no more than four runs.
\nUp next<\/p>\n
The series will takes a break on Friday with a World Cup game between Australia and Egypt at the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 stadium. On Saturday, Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty (1-8, 4.97 ERA) was scheduled to face Rangers RHP Kumar Rocker (2-6, 3.83).<\/p>\n
