Josh Jung

Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Carter drew a walk in the fourth inning and scored on a two-run single by Kyle Higashioka. He then singled in the fifth and scored on a two-run knock off the bat of Josh Jung. The 22-year-old outfielder then clobbered a 394-foot (101.9 mph EV) two-run blast off of Justin Topa in the sixth inning that made it a 10-3 ballgame. He also added an RBI single in the eighth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Adolis Garca. With the three-hit effort, Carter is now slashing .255/.321/.451 with three homers, eight RBI and three stolen bases in his first 56 plate appearances with the Rangers.

Jung delivered a two-run single off of Simeon Woods Richardson in the fifth inning that extended the Rangers' lead to 5-2, then scored on a a two-run double by Kyle Higashioka. He also added a two-run double as part of a six-run rally in the eighth inning and scored on a ground out off the bat of Higashioka. With his two-hit evening, the 27-year-old third baseman is now slashing .259/.305/.406 with seven homers, 27 RBI and four swipes in 226 plate appearances on the season.

For the first time in a long time, Liberatore ran into trouble during this start. The Rangers jumped on him for five runs through the first two innings and his command was off. His sliders didn't have their usual bite and Josh Jung and Wyatt Langford turned around some cutters that got a hair too much of the plate. Still, he managed to settle down through the middle innings and saved his ratios a bit. He's scheduled to face the Royals at home next time out.
