A wind is a win
Apr 16, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA; Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (6) reacts after hitting a two-run home run against the Athletics during the seventh inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images | Dennis Lee-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Sacramento River Athletics scored six runs. Brother I don’t know what that was.
It was barely even baseball. Anyhow, the Rangers dropped like ten popups and nearly lost a ridiculous, blustery finale in not-Oakland before the potential shame of blowing a 5-3 lead on a bases clearing popup kicked in and they scored four runs in the 9th to escape Yolo County with a series split. Player of the Game : Josh Jung had three hits, scored twice, drove in two and had the most wind-aided dong you’ll ever see.
It was his first homer of the year. Josh Jung goes the opposite way for a go-ahead homer! pic.
