Rangers’ Adolis García ‘wasn’t trying to do too much,’ instead made history vs. Athletics

ARLINGTON, Texas — If there’s anything to be learned from Adolis García, who hit a mammoth home run on the very-first pitch he saw Saturday night, it’s that you shouldn’t wait to break out the good stuff.

So we won’t. Here’s the good stuff.

García went 5 for 5 with three home runs, two doubles, five runs scored and eight RBIs, and powered a Texas Rangers’ offense that rolled past the Oakland Athletics, 18-3, on Saturday night at Globe Life Field. He was one of six Rangers with multiple hits, and he drove in nearly half of Texas’ season-high 18 runs.
