Texas Rangers' Adolis Garcia Makes a Young Fan's Birthday Very Special
The Texas Rangers are doing everything right. The Rangers won again on Tuesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals to run their winning streak to five games. Texas is now 40-20 on the year and owns the second-best record in the American League.
Marcus Semien extended his hitting-streak to 25 games, tied for the second-longest in franchise history, as well.
The Rangers are winning the battle on the field and they are also winning the game of "good karma" too.
Did you see the viral post on social media about how the Rangers' Adolis Garcia made the birthday of a young fan very special?
The team's social media accounts posted a picture of an 8-year-old fan, who held up a sign at Globe Life Park.
It said "My 8th birthday wishlist: Spiderman movie (check), Lego set (check), Rangers game (check), Adolis Garcia home run (check)."
Garcia went 4-4 on the night as the Rangers beat St. Louis, 6-4. He had the homer and three singles and is now hitting .273. He's now got 15 home runs, 52 RBI and four stolen bases this year.
Lifetime, he's a .248 hitter with 73 homers and 244 RBI. He made his major league debut with the Cardinals in 2018 so maybe he was having the classic "revenge game."
With 52 RBI, Garcia is second in baseball in that category, behind only Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros (53). He's just ahead of Semien, who is third, with 50.
The two teams will play again on Wednesday night at 8:05 p.m. ET.
