The Texas Rangers trailed 5-4 with two outs in the bottom of the 10th on Friday night when Adolis García stepped up to the plate. And when his plate appearance concluded, the Rangers had a 7-5 victory.

García sent a Bryan Abreu 95 mph fastball over the wall in right-center field for a walk-off three-run dinger.

The 28-year-old rookie now has 12 homers (tied for fourth in the majors) and has 35 RBI (sixth in the majors). And he’s been particularly clutch late in games.

García has been an incredible find for the Rangers after being in the St. Louis Cardinals’ system from 2017-19.
