Justin Foscue rebounds from causing blooper with star SS Corey Seager with 1st homer for Rangers
Justin Foscue finally went deep for the first time in the big leagues with the Texas Rangers. Foscue, a first-round draft pick by the Rangers in 2020, hit his first career homer Saturday night in the Rangers’ 6-0 victory that snapped the Chicago Cubs’ 10-game winning streak.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Justin Foscue finally went deep for the first time in the big leagues with the Texas Rangers. That home run created a much happier highlight than the embarrassing blooper-reel moment he knows he will see often in the future after running into their two-time World Series MVP shortstop. “Getting your first home run is a big deal.
... And I almost took out the star shortstop,” Foscue said. “A lot of ups and downs.
” Foscue, a first-round draft pick by the Rangers in 2020, hit his first career homer Saturday night in the Rangers’ 6-0 victory that snapped the Chicago Cubs’ 10-game winning streak. “It was a big relief for me,” he said. “It is the best moment of my career so far.
” That came roughly 24 hours after he was playing second base and collided with Corey Seager , who was moving to his left to field a grounder up the middle. The ball squirted past as the infielders tumbled to the ground behind the bag. Neither was injured, but Foscue was charged with an error for causing the mishap in that 7-1 loss .
