Rangers reaction goes out on a limb: Joey Gallo is here to stay

Joey Gallo is here to stay. When Adrian Beltre returns to the Rangers’ roster he will be the club’s third baseman. But no longer is there any doubt that Gallo will remain with the big league club and remain a lineup fixture. The 23-year-old slugger finally looks comfortable in the majors and that was the case before he blasted two more homers in Friday’s 6-2 win over the Royals. Robinson Chirinos jacked a couple homers, too, by the way, as the duo combined for five of the six RBIs. Chirinos could be finding himself in the lineup a little more often while Jonathan Lucroy tries to work out of a slow start.
