Marcus Semien delivered a go-ahead RBI double and Corey Seager had two hits and an RBI as the visiting Texas Rangers defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Wednesday in the resumption of a game suspended by rain the night before.

It ultimately became the first game in major league history to be suspended before an out was recorded.

Texas outhit Chicago 11-7 while sending the White Sox to their ninth loss in 10 games and 102nd defeat overall.

Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney pitched five innings of one-run, five-hit ball with one walk and two strikeouts. Heaney yielded his lone run on a Corey Julks RBI single in the third.

Pitching in relief of Tuesday starter Garrett Crochet, who threw only four pitches, Chicago righty Chris Flexen (2-13) allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out four.

Flexen worked into the seventh inning but allowed hits to three of the first four batters, the last an RBI double from Semien. Fraser Ellard yielded an RBI single to Seager one batter later for a 3-1 Rangers lead.

Matt Festa (2-1), Jose Leclerc, David Robertson and Kirby Yates combined on four innings of two-hit, eight-strikeout relief for the Rangers. Yates worked around a two-out walk in the ninth for his 24th save.

Ezequiel Duran had two hits for the Rangers, while Julks had two for Chicago. Miguel Vargas' sixth-inning double, overturned by video review after initially being called a home run, was the only extra base hit for the White Sox.

Texas grabbed a 1-0 lead on an RBI double from Adolis Garcia in the first inning. Shaky baserunning prevented the Rangers from doing further damage as Chicago catcher Korey Lee turned an unassisted double play to help escape a jam.

On a one-out ground ball to third base, Lee took a throw, nabbed Robbie Grossman in a rundown between home plate and third, then dove to tag Garcia trying to advance to third.

The suspended game resumed with a 2-2 count on Semien, the Texas leadoff man, who saw four pitches from Crochet before storms at Guaranteed Rate Field forced play to stop.
