ARLINGTON, Texas — Wyatt Langford hit a game-ending grand slam off All-Star closer Clay Holmes to give the Texas Rangers a 7-4 win over the Yankees and drop New York out of the AL East lead. Langford hit the first walk-off slam by a Rangers rookie, sending Holmes (2-5) to his major league-high 11th blown save in 40 chances. Texas overcame a 4-1, eighth-inning deficit. Carson Kelly had a one-out single in the ninth, and Josh Smith and Marcus Semien followed with walks. Langford then pulled a full-count slider 407 feet to left for his 10th homer this season.
