‘I have a plan': Cuban Adolis García on a roll for Rangers
Associated PressARLINGTON, Texas — Adolis García repeatedly pounded his chest with his right hand while bouncing around the bases after becoming the only Texas Rangers player whose first career homer was a go-ahead shot in extra innings. Before homering and driving in five runs on Mother’s Day, García also went deep with a late, game-tying drive the previous night in a one-run victory over Seattle. But I’ve been very blessed and thankful that the outcomes have been really good.” García, whose older brother Adonis played 224 games as a third baseman and left fielder for the Atlanta Braves from 2015-17, said his love for the game is the source of the passion he displays on the field. The right-handed slugger later had another 10th-inning homer in Minnesota, and the first time he went deep in Texas’ home park was leading off the eighth to tie Saturday night’s game.
