ARLINGTON, Texas — Marcus Semien lined a game-ending single into the left field corner to score Leody Taveras as the Texas Rangers rallied from a five-run deficit for a 6-5 win. That kept the playoff-chasing Seattle Mariners from gaining ground in the AL wild card race Sunday. The 80-76 Mariners dropped two games back in a tight, four-team wild card race with three AL Central teams. Likely only two of that quartet making the playoffs. Detroit and Kansas City are both 82-74, tied for the final two playoffs spots and four games behind wild card-leading Baltimore. Seattle is still a game behind Minnesota after the Twins were swept in a doubleheader at Boston.
