ARLINGTON, Texas — For Yovani Gallardo, home is where the heat is.
Clear, sunny skies and a heat advisory await the Seattle Mariners right-hander, who will take on his former team, the Texas Rangers, in Game 2 of a three-game series on Saturday.
The temperature is forecast for 97 degrees, but with a heat index of 105 the Right Guard will get a workout.
No sweat, said the right-hander, who grew up in nearby Fort Worth.
“I don’t mind it,” said Gallardo, 31. “You have to get it used to it, but growing up in weather you’re accustomed, you have no problem getting loose, that’s for sure.
