Texas Rangers knock Tampa Bay Rays from AL wild-card lead

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. The rookie is having fun anyway, at the expense of his former organization. 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.
