The 27-year-old says his power surge through the first two weeks of exhibition games is for real. Gallo’s hoping to return to his 2019 All-Star form when he had a career-high .253 batting average and .389 on-base percentage. He’s had a good start with seven hits in his first 14 at-bats, including three homers and three doubles. The durable right-hander pitched an MLB-high 84 innings for the Rangers last season and had a 6-3 record with a 3.32 ERA. ___Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
