The Los Angeles Angels will host the Texas Rangers on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif., with the teams continuing to get their first look at each other this season in the three-game series.
The Rangers have been in first place in the American League West for most of the season, with Bruce Bochy bringing his impressive managerial resume to the organization. But the club also has benefited from the performance of some of its younger talent.
He started at shortstop for the sixth consecutive game in Friday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Angels, going 0-for-4 with a run scored. He figures to get most of the starts at shortstop until Corey Seager returns in the next week or so. Seager has been out since April 11 with a strained hamstring. "He's got a gift, and that's getting the barrel on the ball consistently -- that's pretty much it," Bochy said. "Just consistently hard contact. And he's a smart hitter. I think he sees what pitchers are trying to do. He's adjusted on the fly, which you like to see from a young kid. He has shown good discipline up there, and he's using the whole field. He's just mature beyond his years.
