Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager moved up the all-time home run list for Rangers shortstops, closing in on leader Alex Rodriguez.
Seager hit homer No. 19 in the first inning of Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox and finished with a season-high four hits, including a double, two singles, three runs, and an RBI.
"You keep creating those chances with men on base, eventually somebody is going to come through," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's good to see us break out; some guys had a great night. It's going to be important that everybody does something to contribute, but your core guys, you need them to swing the bat like they can."
It's Seager's 85th homer with Texas. He reached the mark in 359 games to become the fourth-fastest player in club history to hit 85 or more homers. The others are Alex Rodriguez , Rafael Palmeiro , and Joey Gallo . It's Seager's 80th homer as the Rangers' shortstop. He broke a tie with Michael Young for the second-most homers as a shortstop in Rangers history behind Rodriguez's record 155 homers while playing short.
"Marcus is hot, Adolis is heating up, Corey is back to doing Corey things," said Rangers first baseman Nathaniel, who had two hits, including a three-run homer in the eighth to blow open the game. "We knew he was going to hit the first offer out tonight, so it's really good to see. We've got some good things in front of us."Stefan Stevenson worked as a journalist and editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for 25 years, covering sports, concerts, and general news.
