ARLINGTON, Texas — Domingo German couldn’t match Corey Kluber’s history-making performance, but the right-hander gave the Yankees just what they needed again as they won their third straight game on Thursday.

German tossed seven scoreless innings, and Gio Urshela and Aaron Judge had RBI pinch-hit singles in the seventh to lead the Yankees to a 2-0 victory over the Rangers at Globe Life Field.

Chad Green pitched the eighth and Aroldis Chapman earned the save in the ninth.

Chapman, nearly unhittable this year, walked Joey Gallo with one out and gave up a hard line drive to center Adolis Garcia for the second out before pinch-hitter Khris Davis struck out to end it.

“He’s been special, what he’s doing right now,’’ Aaron Boone said of Chapman, now 11-for-11 in save opportunities. “We dodged a bullet there with Garcia. He smoked one.”

It was one of few hard-hit balls the last two games against the Yankees, who completed a 7-3 road trip and head back to The Bronx, where they will open up a series against Tony La Russa and the traveling circus that is the first-place White Sox on Friday.

As good as Chicago has played, despite their recent “unwritten rules” controversies, the Yankees have been improved of late.

They are 20-9 since losing five straight in mid-April, and for a second straight day scratched out enough runs to beat the last-place Rangers.

After German and Texas starter Dane Dunning took a scoreless game through six, the Yankees broke through against lefty reliever John King in the seventh.

King hit Rougned Odor with an 0-2 pitch to start the inning. Odor moved to second on a groundout by Gleyber Torres. Gary Sanchez lined a single to left to give the Yankees runners on the corners with one out and Boone went to righty-swinging Urshela to hit for the left-handed Mike Ford.

“I’m always ready,’’ said Urshela, who is still managing soreness in his left knee but delivered a single to right to score Odor and give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.

Following an Andujar strikeout, Boone went to his bench again and used Judge to hit for Tyler Wade.

Judge smacked a single to center to drive in Sanchez, but Urshela got caught in a rundown between second and third for the final out in the inning, with the Yankees up, 2-0.

“I was locked in,’’ Judge said of his mindset before being called upon. “The biggest thing is to try to stay aggressive in that situation.”

German and the bullpen did the rest.

Using a nasty changeup, German allowed six hits and no walks in seven innings.

Boone noted German’s ability to use the pitch to both righties and lefties.

“It’s so unpredictable,’’ Boone said. “He had really good command of all his pitches. It’s hard to gear up for anything.”

German pitched around consecutive singles to open the bottom of the fourth, as Gallo and Garcia got hits to put runners on first and second with no one out. But German struck out David Dahl and got Isiah Kiner-Falefa to ground into an inning-ending double play.

After the hits by Gallo and Garcia in the fourth, German retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced.

He was also aided by the Yankees’ defense. With a runner on first and two out in the fifth, DJ LeMahieu made a terrific stop and strong throw from third on a hard chopper by Nick Solak to help keep the game scoreless.

The stellar pitching and defense masked more poor baserunning, as Ford and Urshela were both thrown out at third base. Urshela was trying to advance on an errant pitch, and Ford got caught wandering off the base after a force out at second.

“I feel like we’ve got to be better,’’ Boone said. “We’re not a fast team that steals a lot of bases. We’re pitching really [well] and our defense has complemented that, but we made a couple outs on the bases [the past two games]. We need to do a better job.”
