Gallo’s 17th homer puts Rangers ahead in 10-8 win over Mets (Jun 06, 2017)

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Joey Gallo hit a towering two-run homer that put the Texas Rangers ahead to stay, and they ended a four-game losing streak with a 10-8 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.

Nomar Mazara had four hits and also homered for the Rangers.

After Gallo hit a high-arcing shot in the third, he stopped running between first and second base with teammate Adrian Beltre just ahead of him. It initially appeared that Jay Bruce might have caught the ball, but it was actually just beyond the reach of the right fielder’s outstretched glove.
