ARLINGTON, Texas -- Marcus Semien launched a two-run homer after getting hit in the helmet by a pitch, Adolis García stole home and the Texas Rangers avoided being swept by manager Bruce Bochy's former team with a 7-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

The first pitch thrown by Giants starter Keaton Winn was a 94.5 mph fastball that knocked Semien's helmet off his head.

"Not how you want to start the game. Definitely not," said Semien, who had no plans to watch the replay.
