Semien — nearly two hours after he was struck in the face by a fastball — hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to clinch the Rangers’ 6-5 win vs. the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field. His hit secured a fifth-straight victory for the Rangers and extended a four-series win streak that dates back to before the All-Star break.

BOTTOM LINE: The Texas Rangers, on a three-game home winning streak, host the Atlanta Braves. Texas is 53-50 overall and 31-20 in home games. The Rangers are 38-10 in games when they have more hits than their opponents.

Just this past month, the Rangers broke out their red hats for the first time this year vs. the Mariners. The red hats were the club’s only hats for its first three playoff seasons and a regular part of the rotation in the 2010-11 World Series runs.
