All or nothing? Joey Gallo is essentially the same player, but he's striving for consistency

The last time the Texas Rangers ventured into Dodger Stadium, before the two-game series that ended Wednesday, was almost three years ago to the day.

Adrian Beltre was on the disabled list with a mangled thumb, and rookie Joey Gallo had been in the major leagues for just more than two weeks to replace Beltre at third base.

In the opener, June 17, 2015, Gallo connected for the most famous home run so far in his career, crushing a Clayton Kershaw pitch an estimated 439 feet deep into the right-field pavilion.

"I just swung, and the ball was right where I swung," Gallo said.
