Lowe went 4 of 6 in a night after going hitless in four at-bats in Texas' 7-1 loss. It was his first four-hit game since July 14 last year.

“I guess it was just my turn in the great pendulum of the baseball swing,” Lowe said. “It was great to see so many guys contribute. We got smoked last night so it was good to come back tonight.”

Adolis García, Evan Carter (Elizabethton) and Travis Jankowski also drove in two runs each.

Carter scored on a wild pitch after a two-run triple in the third inning.

Garcia extended his hitting streak to six games and Carter had two hits to extend his hitting streak to five games.

The Rangers scored a season-high 17 hits and set a season-high in runs scored against the team that entered the game with the highest run differential in the majors.

Texas had three three-run innings and a five-run ninth, handing Kansas City its worst loss of the season. Two runs scored on a wild pitch by Colin Selby and a throwing error to third base on the same play capped a three-run seventh. Joe Smith, Jankowski, Marcus Semien, Leody Taveras and Ezequiel Duran had RBI in the ninth.

“It was nice to see everyone doing something to help the cause,” Texas coach Bruce Bochy said. “We got shut down the night before the boys came out and put together great batting defenses, which is good for their confidence.” Everyone did something tonight.

Dane Dunning pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and four hits. Dunning had limited the Royals to just one hit in the first four innings.

Josh Sborz (1-0) pitched one inning of relief and earned the win.

Michael Wacha (1-4) pitched a season-low 3 2/3 innings, allowing a season-high seven runs and nine hits with one walk and three strikeouts.

“Obviously it looked like there were some missed locations tonight,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “You need to speak up about it too.”

Hunter Renfroe got the Royals on the field with a two-run single to left field with two outs in the fifth. Bobby Witt Jr. recorded his American League-leading 11th stolen base of the season.

Vinnie Pasquantino and Garrett Hampson each drove in a run, and Michael Massey had three hits, extending his hitting streak to seven games.
