Adolis García hit two drastically different solo homers, Corey Seager also went deep and newly acquired left-hander Jordan Montgomery worked into the seventh inning to help the Texas Rangers beat the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Friday night.
“I just picked two good pitches and made good swings,” said García, who increased his AL-leading RBI total to 88 with his 27th and 28 homers.
“Definitely a little extra nerves, just wanted to make a good first impression on the new team,” Montgomery said. “Kind of grinded it out those first few innings and settled in and kind of kept us in it. ... And the bats and, of course, Adolis had a great game.” Marlins starter Jesús Luzardo struck out eight over 5 1/3 innings. The lefty gave up four runs and six hits.
