ARLINGTON, Texas - Joey Gallo circled the bases after the hardest hit of the season for the Texas slugger ended the longest home run drought of his career at 20 games. Gallo’s two-run shot was the early tiebreaking blow in the Rangers’ 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. “He’s got pop,” Gallo said of Solak after the Rangers stopped a second four-game losing streak, their longest of the season. It’s the deepest season-opening run for Texas since Ian Kinsler reached in the first 25 games of 2008. GALLO’S TRUE OUTCOMESGallo, whose only other extra-base hit was a homer in Kansas City in the second game, struck out with the bases loaded in the fourth.
