Texas RF Adolis Garcia singled in the first to end an 0-for-18 skid. The 27-year-old singled in his first at-bat, scored, and singled again in the sixth. WELCOME TO THE SHOWĮlier Hernandez made his big-league debut as Texas’ DH after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock. “I hit third base, and it just felt like I hit quicksand,” Haggerty said. On Monday, Rangers rookie 3B Josh Smith had one under near identical circumstances involving Oakland CF Ramon Laureano. It was the second inside-the-park homer at Globe Life Field in four games. Haggerty’s homer in the fourth inning was a liner to shallow center that skipped past Leody Taveras and bounced to the wall. “We know who we are we know how good we are,” Gonzales said. But reaching the sixth inning helped a bullpen coming off a Wednesday doubleheader at Washington in which relievers threw 12 total innings. Seattle starter Marco Gonzales gave up all five runs on a season-high 11 hits, one short of his career high. France followed with his single to left, scoring Toro and Haggerty. After pinch-hitter Adam Frazier, Abraham Toro and Haggerty loaded the bases in the eighth with none out, reliever Dennis Santana (3-5) hit Rodriguez to pull Seattle within a run. Haggerty and Julio Rodriguez scored on Eugenio Suarez’s single in the seventh inning, pulling Seattle within 5-3. Texas starter Martin Perez allowed one run on three hits, and matched a career high with nine strikeouts before being pulled after five innings and 102 pitches. “A gut punch,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. “I don’t believe anybody in the dugout felt for a moment that we didn’t have a chance to come back.”Ĭorey Seager, added to the American League All-Star team and the Home Run Derby earlier Thursday, had a double and two RBIs for Texas, which is 4-3 during a 10-game homestand, its longest of the season.
“You just feel like you can win every game at some point, and we’re kind of on one of those stretches,” Haggerty said.
