KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 Jac Caglianone went 3 for 3 with two home runs and three RBIs as the Kansas City Royals erased an early deficit to defeat the\u00a0Texas Rangers\u00a05-3 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caglianone, who\u00a0missed Kansas City\u2019s previous game with right shoulder soreness, ended Nathan Eovaldi\u2019s no-hit bid with a leadoff homer in the fifth inning that sailed into the right-field bullpen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the sixth, Caglianone drove reliever Jalen Beeks\u2019 first-pitch changeup 431 feet to right-center for a two-run shot that gave the Royals a 5-2 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was Caglianone\u2019s second multihomer game in the majors; he also hit a pair against the Rangers on June 19, 2025, the first two home runs of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royals got five extra-base hits in a four-run sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carter Jensen opened the inning with a double off the right-field fence and scored on Maikel Garcia\u2019s one-out triple, tying the score at 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garcia scored on Vinnie Pasquantino\u2019s ground-rule double to center for a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caglianone also singled and stole a base in the eighth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eovaldi (5-7) walked a batter in each of his first three innings, but held Kansas City hitless through four. He threw 5 2\/3 innings, allowing four runs on four hits \u2014 all for extra bases \u2014 with three walks and three strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephen Kolek labored through the first three innings for Kansas City, delivering 55 pitches and allowing six baserunners, but stranded four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jake Burger\u2019s second-inning RBI single for the Rangers provided the game\u2019s first run. A pair of throwing errors allowed Evan Carter to circle the bases in the fourth, expanding Texas\u2019 lead to 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kolek exited after five innings. He allowed two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 and eight hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joc Pederson tripled and scored on Corey Seager\u2019s groundout in the seventh, capping the scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh Jung and Brandon Nimmo each had two of Texas\u2019 nine hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steven Cruz (1-2) retired all four batters he faced, striking out two to earn the win. Alex Lange fanned two in in a hitless ninth for his fourth save this season, all in the last six Royals games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kansas City has won five of six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Royals center fielder Kyle Isbel exited in the seventh with a left foot plantar fascia injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
