What happened: Elias Diaz lifted a sacrifice fly to score Jake Burger, pushing Texas in front 4-2 on the way to a 4-3 final. Miami clawed back to within a run late, but the Rangers closed it out to take the game.

Why it matters: The win nudges Texas back toward the middle of the standings at 11-11 after a stretch of three straight losses. For Miami, it snaps a four-game winning streak and checks a club that had been one of the hotter teams in its division at 15-7.

By the numbers: Final: Texas 4, Miami 3. Texas entered 11-11 (last five WWLLL); Miami entered 15-7 on a four-game win streak (last five WWWWL). Diaz's sacrifice fly accounted for the eventual deciding run.

What to watch: Watch whether Texas can build on the result and string together wins to climb back above .500.
