ARLINGTON, Texas -- Less than 24 hours after having one of their worst games of the season, the Texas Rangers had one of their best.
Texas shut out the Chicago Cubs 6-0 at Globe Life Field on Saturday. With the win, the Rangers snapped the Cubs' 10-game winning streak, marking the first time Texas has halted an opponent's winning streak of 10-plus games since doing so against the Houston Astros back in 2015.
Entering play on Saturday, the Rangers were 12-3 when they scored first and that is exactly what they did.
Josh Jung drove a solo home run into the Rangers' bullpen in the second inning to open the scoring. In that same inning, Alejandro Osuna came through with a full-count RBI single to double the Texas lead at 2-0.
The fourth inning saw Joc Pederson rip an RBI double into the left0field gap and Osuna produce another RBI single.
However, the big swing of the night came off the bat of Justin Foscue in the fifth inning. He drove his first big-league home run over the left-field wall more than two calendar years after making his Major League debut.
“I’m really excited for him getting his first career home run,” Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said after the game.
“What a special moment, I know they’re celebrating right now for him, and it was a long road to get here for Justin, so for him to do that, it’s a special day, and hopefully he’s enjoying whatever they’re doing for him right now inside that clubhouse.” Schumaker said.
The Texas Rangers shut out the Chicago Cubs 6-0, effectively ending their 10-game winning streak.

Kyle Higashioka added one more run with an RBI single in the sixth. One day after being shut out on just two hits, the Rangers scored six runs.
Jack Leiter got the start for the Rangers and made it through just 4 2/3 innings after throwing a lot of pitches early. But he was able to keep the Cubs off the scoreboard.
“A little bit of trouble is an understatement; it was a grindy outing,” Leiter said after the game. “Kind of one of those baseball things where it feels like the worst I’ve thrown in terms of execution and where the stuff was tonight and to be able to put up zeros, I’m grateful for that… really happy that the boys got a win, hopefully this can kind of get us going.”
The Rangers will go for the series win with Jacob deGrom on the mound on Sunday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. CST.
