Rookie Langford's inside
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wyatt Langford and Adolis García homered during Texas’ four-run first inning, helping Dane Dunning and the Rangers beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 on Sunday.
Dunning (3-2) struck out a season-high 10 in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed two runs, one earned, and three hits.
García golfed an 0-2 curve from Andrew Abbott (1-3) deep to left for a two-run homer with two out in the first. After Jonah Heim singled, Langford went on a memorable dash around the bases for his first career homer.
The 22-year-old Langford drove a 3-2 fastball toward the gap in right-center. The ball caromed off a small portion of the wall that is angled toward the foul line in right, and it got away from right fielder Jake Fraley.
Langford scored without a throw, giving the Rangers a 4-0 lead.
“It’s super cool,” Langford said. “I’ll definitely remember it forever.”
