Holt walk-off hit for Rangers in 4-3 win over Giants in 11

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Brock Holt hit a game-ending single with two outs in the 11th inning and the Texas Rangers beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday for their second win in 14 games.

Holt lined a single to center off lefty Jake McGee (2-2) after the Giants intentionally walked leadoff hitter Isiah Kiner-Falefa to get to the left-handed hitter.
