Rangers outfielder Adolis García has a five-game hit streak going, but not all of those hits are created equal.
On Wednesday, he hit a grand slam against the Astros that led both benches to clear. On Sunday, he kept his streak alive with a weak dribbler that he hit off the very end of his bat.
Facing Blake Snell in third inning of the game in San Diego, García checked his swing on an inside fastball. He barely started the swing, but moved his bat just enough that the knob was facing toward the mound. Improbably, the ball glanced off tiny bit of exposed wood and skittered past Snell. Second baseman Ha-Seong Kim’s only hope of making a play was to flip the ball with his glove, but García reached safely by just a hair.
