A few hours later, Washington's observation was reaffirmed. Andrus crushed a three-run home run in the fourth inning that snapped a 1-1 tie and helped propel the Rangers to 10-3 victory over the Athletics at the Coliseum. The win pushed Texas' lead over Houston to 3 games in the AL West standings.
The home run came off of Athletics starter Felix Doubront and went sailing deep over the left-field fence, projected by Statcast™ to land 419 feet away from home. It was the first three-run home run of his career and his seventh homer of the season, a new career high.
