Solak, Rangers help knock Rays from AL wild-card lead, 6-4

SCHUYLER DIXON (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Nick Solak isn't getting to enjoy a playoff race in Texas after making his major league debut with the Rangers following a trade when he was a prospect for AL wild-card contender Tampa Bay. Solak homered off the pitcher he was traded for two months ago, and the Rangers helped knock Tampa Bay out of the AL wild-card lead, beating the Rays 6-4 on Thursday night. The rookie's two-run shot off hard-throwing reliever Peter Fairbanks put the Rangers up 5-1 in the fourth inning as Texas won consecutive series for the first time since late June.
