Corey Seager hit two solo home runs and an RBI double as the Texas Rangers ended a three-game losing streak with a 10-3 win over the host Detroit Tigers on Saturday.

Seager's second multi-homer game this season led a five-homer barrage by Texas. Joc Pederson hit a two-run shot, while Josh Smith and Evan Carter supplied solo homers. Adolis Garcia drove in two runs.

Winning pitcher Jacob deGrom (3-1) lasted five-plus innings, giving up two runs and five hits while striking out a season-high 10. He fanned six consecutive batters in the first and second innings.

Kerry Carpenter had a single, triple and homer for Detroit. Riley Greene added a solo homer for the Tigers, who saw their five-game winning streak snapped.

Detroit starter Jack Flaherty (1-5) gave up five runs and four hits -- all homers -- in three innings. The four homers in one game were the most Flaherty's allowed in his career.

The Rangers jumped on Flaherty early. Smith ripped a 2-2 slider over the right field wall. One out later, Seager flipped a 3-1 fastball over the right-center field wall.

Detroit got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning as Carpenter drilled a 1-2 fastball over the right-center field wall.

Leading off the second, Carter clubbed a Flaherty fastball over the right field wall for his first homer of the year and a 3-1 Texas lead.

The long ball parade continued in the next inning. Wyatt Langford drew a leadoff walk and Pederson clubbed a 3-2 fastball over the right field wall for his first homer this season.

DeGrom gave up two hits in the third but retired Colt Keith on a grounder, leaving the score at 5-1.

Greene went to the opposite field on a full-count slider for his ninth homer in the bottom of the fourth.

Texas extended its lead to 7-2 in the fifth. Langford walked again and scored on Seager's double to center. Following two more walks, Garcia hit a sacrifice fly.

Seager's second homer of the game came off Tyler Holton while leading off the seventh. Gleyber Torres had an RBI groundout in the bottom of the eighth.
