Yankees, Rangers in doubleheader

The New York Yankees and Texas Rangers split a doubleheader on Saturday, with the Yankees winning the first game 8-0 and the Rangers taking the second 9-4. In the opener, Carlos Rodón pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and Austin Wells contributed with four RBIs. However, the Rangers capitalized on Gerrit Cole's exit in the second game, scoring five runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by Corey Seager's three-run homer. This loss raised concerns for the Yankees about their pitching depth and performance against left-handed pitchers as they prepare for future contests. The split leaves the Yankees with a record of 69-49, having won nine of their last 13 games. The teams will meet again for the series finale on Sunday afternoon.
