A 1-for-5 can still be Player of the Day when both decisive runs attach to the same player. dallasweekly.news chose Wyatt Langford for Player of the Day on that logic after Texas beat Los Angeles 2-1 in 10.
The AP account on ESPN recorded the tying RBI double with two outs in the 10th, then the winning run on Guzman's error. MLB.com stressed Langford was down to the last strike before the right-field-line double that scored Carter. ESPN's box shows 1-for-5 with double No. 15.
Hit volume lived elsewhere
Duran went 4-for-5 on ESPN's board; Gore threw six scoreless. Richardson still follows dallasweekly.news, which chose Langford for Player of the Day because walk-off value is not the same as hit volume. MLB.com's 11 stranded runners underline that point.
Alexander (4-2) and Joyce (0-1) come from the AP; Rangers 64-65 come from ESPN. The dallasweekly.news main URL is listed in Sources.
