Rangers, Josh Jung and Colorado Rockies
Digest more
Perhaps no hitter has seemed to respond more positively to the coaching change than Jung, and it showed in Wednesday’s win vs. Colorado.
Josh Jung delivered a special Mother's Day gift to his mom, Mary. The Texas Rangers' third baseman hit a two-out, two-run homer in the fifth inning at Detroit on Sunday. Jung's brother, Jace, was in the Tigers' lineup at the same position.
There have been more than 400 brother combinations to play in the big leagues and a Mother’s Day meeting has been rare.
While the tic-tac-toe game became a wash after three moves, Josh got the best of Jace on the field in what became a 10-3 Rangers win in Detroit. Josh went 1-for-4 at the plate in Texas' win, while Jace went 0-for-3 as the Tigers struggled to get much of anything going at the plate against Jacob deGrom .
