DETROIT -- Josh Jung delivered a special Mother's Day gift to his mom, Mary.
The Texas Rangers third baseman hit a two-out, two-run homer in the fifth inning at Detroit on Sunday. Jung's brother, Jace, was in the Tigers' lineup at the same position.
Before the game, Mary Jung delivered the game ball to the mound and her sons joined her on the field.
"My heart is just exploding. I mean, I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day gift," Mary Jung said in an interview on the Rangers' telecast. "We're all in the same place, to begin with. But then to watch them live their dream, do what they love to do, I couldn't be more proud."
