Nick Martini came off the bench to hit a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning. Christian Encarnación-Strand drove in Elly De La Cruz in the ninth, and the Cincinnati Reds came from behind for a 7-6 win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. That means the Rangers are behind the leading Astros and Mariners in the West.

Ben Shelton may only be 20, but he has taken over in the US Open by hitting 14 aces and 11double faults. He used a blink-and-you-missed-it return to save a set point in the pivotal tiebreaker and reached his first Grand Slam semifinal.
