The Avilan gardener of the Texas Rangers José Adolis García reached the milestone of 130 home runs in Major League Baseball.
García is now just three home runs away from surpassing the Cienfueguero Yasiel Puig, who, with 132 home runs, occupies the 13th spot on the historical list of Cuban home run hitters in the MLB, noted the site Pelota Cubana.
The Cuban connected with his 130th home run last Thursday in his team's 16-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins, where he went 4-for-1 with two runs scored, three RBIs, and a pair of walks.
He reached 8 home runs in a season where his performance at the plate is still below expectations. García has, as of this Saturday, a record of 50 hits in 229 at-bats, with 8 home runs, 33 RBIs, and 7 stolen bases.
His average is a poor .218, with a .264 OBP and a .644 OPS.
El Bombi now ranks 17th on the list of all-time home run hitters for the Texas Rangers. Two seasons ago, Adolis was a key player in the Rangers' World Series victory.
The Texas team, which faces the last-place Chicago White Sox this Saturday, is currently in third place in the American League West, 4 games behind the Astros.
The offensive surge of Adolis will be crucial for the playoff chances of a team that ranks 28th in collective batting.
