4/26/17: Ryan Rua hit his 1rst career grand slam & Shin Soo Choo connected for a 3 run homer in Texas' 8 run 8th, leading Texas to a 14-3 win against the Twins. Elvis Andrus added a 2 run single & eventually scored on a passed ball in Texas' 4 run 6th, which included only 2 hits.
4/26/16: A.J. Griffin pitched 8 strong IPs, the longest outing by a Texas starter this season, to lead Texas to a 10-1 win over the Yankees. Mitch Moreland's bases-loaded two run single keyed a 5 run third inning. Texas ended a four-game skid, during which they totaled five runs.
4/26/15: Leonys Martin led off the 11th inning with a homer, and the Rangers scored another run on Erick Aybar's error before holding on for a 5-4 victory over the Angels. Neftali Feliz (1-1) pitched two innings for the victory. Nick Martinez scattered seven hits, struck out two.
4/26/14: Aaron Poreda pitched 2 scoreless IPs to get the win when Texas held off Seattle for a 6-3 win. Mitch Moreland drove in Prince Fielder with a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the 8th & Texas added two more runs in the ninth. It was Poreda's first victory since June 25, 2009.
4/26/13: Justin Grimm is making the most of his opportunity with Texas. Grimm pitched 7 shutout IPs to win his second consecutive start and Texas beat the Twins 4-3 for their seventh victory in eight games. The 24-year-old Grimm allowed five hits, struck out four and walked none.
4/26/06: Kevin Mench sets a Texas Rangers record by homering in his sixth straight game, a 6 - 4, ten-inning loss to Oakland. Mench's grand slam in the 4th inning is his second during the streak and the third of his career. He has 20 RBI this season, all in the last seven games.
4/26/98: Aaron Sele became the 1st 5 game winner in the major leagues and Juan Gonzalez homered twice and drove in four runs yesterday, leading Texas to an 11-4 rout of the Royals. Sele (5-0), became the first Texas pitcher to win his first five starts since Kevin Brown in 1990.
4/26/97: @Bwitt36 continued his mastery of Minnesota with 6.1 strong innings, leading the Texas Rangers to their 4th win in a row, 6-1 over the Twins. Witt allowed seven hits, including Rich Becker's inside-the-park home run, to improve to 4-0 for the first time in his career.
4/26/96: Mickey Tettleton drives in two runs on three hits to help Texas the Orioles 5-4. @WillClark22 drove in two runs and Ivan Rodriguez plated one. Mark Brandenburg (1-0) pitches 1.1 innings of relief to earn the win and Mike Henneman earns fourth save of the season.
4/26/94: Rick Helling (2-0) went six innings, allowing seven hits and one run. He struck out four and walked three the Texas Rangers' 6-1 beat the Detroit Tigers. Doug Strange drove in two runs on the three hits. Jose Canseco and Juan Gonzalez drove one run apiece in the win.
4/26/92: John Cangelosi and Ivan Rodriguez had RBI singles in the ninth inning to give Texas a 4-2 victory over Boston and a sweep of their doubleheader. Texas won the first game 3-1, sweeping Boston in a doubleheader for the first time since August of 1977, also at Fenway Park.
Josh Smith's reached base in 13 straight games, 5th longest active streak in MLB. It's also the longest by a Ranger since Evan Carter's 16-game streak in 2023. Smith has also reached in 20 straight starts, 3rd longest active streak and 4th longest overall.
4/26/92: Juan Gonzalez hit his fourth homer of the season and Bobby Witt pitched seven strong innings, leading the Rangers to a 3-1 victory over the Red Sox in the first game of a doubleheader. @Bwitt36 became the third pitcher in Rangers history to pitch more than 1,000 innings.
4/26/90: Nolan Ryan ties Bob Feller's MLB record by hurling his 12th career one-hitter. Ryan strikes out 16 batters in shutting down the White Sox, 1-0. The only hit allowed is Ron Kittle's 2nd-inning check-swing single to right field. The victory is the 293rd in Ryan's career.
4/26/89: Pinch hitter Geno Petralli blooped a double into short left field to score Steve Buechele in the 10th, giving Texas a 3-2 victory over the Indians. Buechele doubled off Doug Jones & scored on Petralli's hit to make a winner of Jeff Russell, 2-0, the fourth Texas pitcher.
