St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Geovany Soto and Jurickson Profar hit back-to-back, two-out doubles in the 10th inning to lift the Texas Rangers over the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-2, in the middle test of a three-game series at Tropicana Field.

Josh Hamilton, who hit a two-run homer earlier in the contest, was later hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring in another run for Texas, which played in extra innings for the third straight game.

Mike Adams (5-3) stranded a runner on second in the bottom of the ninth to earn the win and Joe Nathan tossed a scoreless 10th for his 31st save of the season as the AL West-leading Rangers won for the fifth time in seven games.

Kyle Farnsworth (1-4) surrendered the deciding runs to take the loss for the Rays, who have lost two of their last three but still sit 1 1/2 games behind the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees for the top spot in the AL East.
