Tag Archives: when his two-out single sent home Jake Smolinski and chased Astros starter Nick Tropeano NFL Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys (1-2)

After 13 years of waiting Rangers rookie

ARLINGTON, Texas GuilderRodriguez played 13 seasons and 1,095 games in the minor leagues before the Texas Rangers called up the 31-year-old switch-hitting infielder earlier this month.

Now he has quite a night to remember, one shared with his father from Venezuela who watched him play in the United States for the first time in 10 years.

Rodriguez had his first two major league hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single, as the Rangers opened their final homestand with a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday night.

"This is my second-best moment after seeing Kellen Winslow Jerseys my two daughters born," Rodriguez said. "It's unbelievable. I feel great."

His first major league RBI came in the seventh, when his two-out single sent home Jake Smolinski and chased Astros starter Nick Tropeano NFL Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys (1-2), a pitcher Rodriguez was familiar with from the minor leagues. Smolinski was hit by a pitch to start the inning.

"I think the only word is special for me," interim manager Tim Bogar said. "When he got his first hit, it was hard not to cry looking at his dad. It was pretty special that he got a chance to do it in front of his dad. Then the second hit that gave us the lead, that's kind of storybook for us."

Rodriguez made his major league debut two weeks ago, and at the time had the most minor league games for any current player before finally getting to the majors.

"It's a thrill. To put in all that time in the minor leagues, and keep playing, and playing, and playing. A lot of guys would have given up," Astros Mark Webb Jr. Jerseys interim manager Tom Lawle s said. "That's the thing about baseball; you never give up. You never know, you might get the chance. Because your dream is a little kid is to play major league baseball. And there he is."

His father arrived from Venezuela on Sunday night, and sat in the second row near the Rangers dugout. When his son singled in the third, the elder Rodriguez held both his arms in the air and then wiped tears from his eyes.

Rodriguez had an error at third base that led to an unearned tying run for Houston in the sixth. But when the Astros intentionally walked Robinson Chirinos ahead of Rodriguez in the seventh, Bogar had no intentions of using a pinch-hitter.

"You let it run through your mind because it's baseball," Bogar said. "But then you check yourself and you're like, there's no way you can Los Angeles Chargers Pet Gear hit for the kid."
