García stepped into the box with one runner on base and no outs, down by one run in the bottom of the ninth. He came through for the Rangers in a big way, launching a walk-off, two-run blast off Kirby Yates to end the game. It was his fourth home run of the season. The 32-year-old outfielder is hitting .229/.304/.471 with nine RBI and four steals across 79 plate appearances.

García had a two-run double in the first and then a solo homer in the fourth, both off Walker Buehler. It’s the first time he’s had three extra-base hits in a game since Aug. 2023, and it was definitely a welcome scene for the Rangers after his poor final five months last season.

That’s García’s third homer of the spring. The outfielder has hit .267/.306/.533 thus far in Arizona, and is a decent bet to bounce back from his disappointing 2024 campaign.

The 32-year-old slugger wasted no time in this one, crushing a two-run shot off of Ryan Feltner in the home half of the first inning to open the score. García finished the evening 1-for-3 and is now hitting an impressive .321 (9-for-28) with a pair of long balls and five RBI.
