Two of the top home-run hitters in the American League will be in the spotlight Tuesday night when the Texas Rangers open a two-game series against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif.
Rangers center fielder Adolis Garcia and Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani each have 14 home runs thisseason, putting them atop the AL leaders entering the week. The Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero Jr. passed them on Monday.
The early power production from both players has been a surprise, especially from Garcia, who didn t homer in his first 24 major-league games with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2018 and the Rangers in 2020.
