PHOENIX (AP) A storm knocked out the lights at Chase Field. The Texas Rangers are starting to find a little of their power Miguel Cabrera Jersey , even if it is too late.Shin-Soo Choo homered twice and had four RBIs, helping the Rangers rally after a power outage delay to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-5 Monday night.”We went through a stretch where later innings were a challenge for us,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. ”Late runs are always quality for us and it’s a situation where we’re seeing some of these young guys grow in their at-bats.”Choo hit a three-run homer off Robbie Ray in the fifth inning and added a solo shot against Matt Andriese (0-1) in the eighth for his sixth 20-homer season.A thunderstorm outside Chase Field caused some of the lights to go out in the sixth and, after a 21-minute delay, pinch-hitter Willie Calhoun lined a run-scoring single to right to put the Rangers up 5-4.Eddie Butler (2-1) got the final out in the sixth inning and Rougned Odor hit a solo homer off Andriese in the seventh for the go-ahead run.Texas, which had 12 hits, has won four straight since losing five of nine, but is still 21 games behind Houston in the AL West.”It’s something we’ve seen throughout some of the challenges of these games, offensive guys continue to show up, battle through at-bats, find a way to put runs across the board Alan Trammell Jersey ,” Banister said.Steven Souza Jr. hit a three-run homer and Eduardo Escobar had two RBIs in his first game at Chase Field since being traded from Minnesota to Arizona. The Diamondbacks scored one run after the power delay while Texas had four.”The timing couldn’t have been worse,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. ”I felt like it could have been a different outcome had that not happened. But we’ve got to make a pitch and we didn’t execute.”Ray worked through some traffic in the first four innings before running into trouble in the fifth. The left-hander walked two and Choo lifted his 19th homer over the wall in left for a three-run shot.The Diamondbacks answered in the bottom half with the help of a throwing error by third baseman Adrian Beltre, going up 4-3 when Souza bounced a three-run homer off the top of the wall in left.Ray was lifted after a one-out walk in the sixth inning and Texas went ahead 4-3 on Robinson Chirinos‘ run-scoring single against Yoshihisa Hirano.Ray allowed four runs on three hits and struck out six with four walks.ANDRIESE’S STRUGGLESWhile Escobar had a strong first game at Chase Field, Andriese did not. The right-hander was acquired from Tampa Bay and had one appearance on the road, allowing a run in two innings against San Diego.Andriese entered Monday’s game in the seventh inning and was hit hard in two innings, allowing three runs on six hits.”it’s very frustrating, but it’s baseball,” he said. ”You just have to go out there and compete. The next opportunity I get, it’s a new day.”CHOO’S BOUNCEBACKChoo had four strikeouts against Houston on Sunday, a rarity during his 14-year career. He struck out his first at-bat against Arizona, but hit a hard ground ball his second and followed with two homers.”After the first at-bat http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-al-kaline-jersey , he came into the dugout and found a rhythm with his swing,” Bannister said. ”The second at-bat, he fouled some pitches off and on that ground ball to second base, he seemed to barrel it up. I think that unlocked him a little bit, just with his timing and his swing.”TRAINER’S TABLEDiamondbacks: OF David Peralta was held out of the starting lineup after exiting Sunday’s game against San Diego in the sixth inning with right shoulder tightness.UP NEXTTexas RHP Bartolo Colon will make his fifth attempt at becoming MLB’s all-time wins leader among Latin American pitchers when he faces Arizona RHP Zack Godley. The 45-year-old Colon is tied with Nicaraguan Dennis Martinez with 245 wins after losing his previous four outings.— It's early in the offseason, but the Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays have shaken up their rosters.The Mariners announced Thursday they have dealt catcher Mike Zunino, outfielder Guillermo Heredia and minor league pitcher Michael Plassmeyer to the Rays for outfielder Mallex Smith and minor league outfielder Jake Fraley.Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times first reported the deal Wednesday, noting the teams had been in discussions since last week.Zunino is the headliner of this trade in large part because of his glove. Divish noted he was named Wilson Defensive Player of the Year for catchers Wednesday, and he was responsible for a career-best 12 defensive runs saved during the 2018 campaign, per FanGraphs.It was his fifth straight season saving at least four runs, and he has 40 in all during his career.However Lance Parrish Jersey , he isn't as effective with the bat and slashed .201/.259/.410 with 44 RBI in 2018. He did bring power to the dish yet again with 20 home runs after he drilled 25 long balls during the 2017 campaign and 22 in 2014. Still, he's hit under .200 more times (twice) than he's hit over .214 (once).As for Heredia, he was a rotational outfielder for the Mariners who slashed .236/.318/.342 with five home runs and 19 RBI. His inclusion in the trade is surely just for depth purposes from Tampa Bay's perspective, as he was not particularly effective with his glove either, considering he was responsible for minus-10 defensive runs saved in the outfield in 2018, per FanGraphs.Seattle is set to add potential with 25-year-old Smith in exchange for those pieces after he slashed .296/.367/.406 last season. It was his speed that stood out the most with 40 stolen bases, and he would add a threat on the basepaths for the Mariners after they were a middling 13th in the league in stolen bases.The Mariners haven't reached the playoffs since the 2001 season and are already wheeling and dealing with an eye on 2019.
