They trailed 2-0 in the eighth before Joc Pederson hit a sacrifice fly and pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez laced an RBI double off Díaz , handed his third blown save of the year.
The inning began when, with a 1-2 count, Josh Smith reached on catcher's interference against Francisco Alvarez. Langford followed with a double off Tyler Rogers.
Cody Freeman led off the ninth with a line-drive single that should have been caught by shortstop Francisco Lindor. Pinch-runner Dustin Harris advanced to second on Michael Helman’s sacrifice bunt.
Phil Maton got the last out of the eighth and the first out of the ninth. Shawn Armstrong earned his ninth save by striking out Brandon Nimmo to strand runners at the corners.
Texas starter Patrick Corbin gave up an unearned run in 4 2/3 innings.
The Rangers’ rally denied Brandon Sproat his first big league win in his second start. Sproat threw 70 pitches over six scoreless innings.
Langford’s go-ahead hit vaulted the Rangers to their 26th comeback win. They improved to 8-13 when tied after eight innings.
Soto became the third player with 40 homers, 30 steals and 100 walks in a season. Barry Bonds and Hall of Fame slugger Jeff Bagwell each accomplished the feat twice.
RHP Nolan McLean will become the third consecutive rookie to start for the Mets when he opposes LHP Jacob Latz in the series finale Sunday.
