51-50 - A night of firsts ends in victory for Rangers over Athletics

Related Topics: Texas Rangers, Josh Jung, Jack Leiter

The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the formerly Oakland Athletics scored two runs.

Maybe it’s why I like it so much but no sport has a sense of humor quite like baseball. Take for example Josh Jung hitting a home run in his first at-bat back after being banished to Round Rock at the beginning of the month.

Later on in the evening Cody Freeman, the prospect who was called up recently instead of Jung to the surprise of many, got his first big league hit. Freeman smacked a big RBI double in the fifth inning that broke a 1-1 tie and kicked off the scoring spree that eventually led to the victory.
