ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Texas rookie Wyatt Langford hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning, after scoring the tying run in the ninth, as the Rangers rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Monday night. Leody Taveras, who had earlier homered, opened the Texas 10th with a sacrifice bunt that moved pinch-runner Travis Jankowski to third....
Langford's stolen base was his ninth of the season. He was all over this game. Langford doubled in the ninth inning, stole third base and then scored the tying run on a single off the bat of Jonah Heim. In the 10th inning, he hit a walkoff single with the bases-loaded and two outs. Langford could be a fantasy force for the rest of the season and years to come.

Langford has gone 6-for-10 with one homer and three RBI in a pair of contests since being moved up to the cleanup spot over the weekend. The 22-year-old top prospect has been an absolute one-man wrecking crew over the last few weeks, batting .327 (36-for-110) with four homers, 28 RBI and six stolen bases over his last 30 games. There are going to be ebbs and flows over the next few years, but he looks like a burgeoning fantasy superstar at the moment.
