“Yeah, I heard a lot about age and I should be declining, but I don’t buy into it until I feel it”, Beltre said Saturday. I feel like I made some decent pitches throughout.
Aside from his five productive seasons in the lone star state, Beltre has compiled Hall of Fame-worthy statistics. He connected off a pitch from Vance Worley to get the scoring started in a five-run second-inning for Texas.
They also homered three times in the fifth inning of 6-1 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on April 8 at Camden Yards.
“We kind of turned the tables on them, ” Moreland said. “And it’s the truth”. Beltre originally signed with the Rangers in 2011 for a 6 year, $96 million deal.
Beltre, 37, was slated to hit free agency after the 2016 season before this extension was reached. He hit two homers in the same inning Friday in the Baltimore Orioles’ 11-5 victory over the Texas Rangers.

He has a. 285 career average with 2,780 hits, 565 doubles, 415 home runs and 1,476 RBIs. The Rangers, conversely, have seen a league-high 22 balls leave the park this season. Machado’s blast came in the first inning and extended his season-opening hitting streak to 11 games. Fans may also exchange tickets for Sunday’s game for any non-premier home game Sunday through Thursday, subject to availability, during the rest of the season. He has five home runs over the last five games.
“To kind of keep them at bay for six innings and keep us close – that’s all wanted to do, ” he said. “I ended up walking him”. “It was an easy choice to get something done and remain here”. Texas RHP Yu Darvish is slated to throw his second batting practice session Sunday in his bid to return from Tommy John elbow surgery. As a cost-controlled asset, Hamilton could generate some interest from a contending club around the trade deadline if he’s able to show that his balky left knee is relatively healthy.
