Lefties provide all the punch vs. Kershaw
Must C: Gallo's long shot 2:06 6/17/15: Joey Gallo crushes his fifth home run of the season, a monster two-run shot at Dodger StadiumPrince Fielder was hitting .287 but he was supposed to get the night off against the three-time Cy Young winner. That plan changed when Kyle Blanks was scratched from the lineup with inflammation in both Achilles tendons.
That left the Rangers with five left-handed hitters in the lineup against the toughest left-handed pitcher in baseball. But Fielder, Gallo and Odor all had big hits off Kershaw and combined for all the Rangers' RBIs in Wednesday night's 5-3 victory.
