NEW YORK -- Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre received a text from Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez after Tuesday's game. Beltre hit a home run off him in the Rangers' 11-4 victory, and Hernandez wanted to know what was up with Beltre's stoic response.
Hernandez seemed to enjoy making Beltre look bad on a strikeout early in the game. But the home run by Beltre came in the sixth and provided the final margin. The 11 runs allowed were a career high for Hernandez.
"I don't want to disrespect him or his teammates or anybody, because I don't think it was appropriate for me to do anything in that moment," Beltre said.
