ARLINGTON, TX - MAY 20: Adolis Garcia #53 of the Texas Rangers avoids the tag by Elias Diaz #35 of the Colorado Rockies to score a run during the first inning at Globe Life Field on May 20, 2023 in Arlington, Texas. Corey Seager had a two-run home run among three hits and Jon Gray won in his first start against his former club as theThe surprising AL West leaders are 11 games over .500 for the first time this season and one win short of the franchise's best record through the first 45 games.
Last year in his first Texas season, Seager set a major league record for left-handed-hitting shortstops with 33 homers."This guy missed, what, six weeks? He steps right in and starts swinging the bat the way he does," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. "It shows you just how good of a hitter he is." Gray was initially on the ropes, loading the bases on two opposite-field hits and a walk to begin the game. He then retired Elias Diaz, fifth in the majors with a .459 batting average with runners in scoring position, to begin a string of 10 straight Rockies set down.
