Justin Foscue rebounds from causing blooper with star SS Corey Seager with 1st homer for Rangers | National Sports

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Justin Foscue finally went deep for the first time in the big leagues with the Texas Rangers. That home run created a much happier highlight than the embarrassing blooper-reel moment he knows he will see often in the future after running into their two-time World Series MVP shortstop.

“Getting your first home run is a big deal. … And I almost took out the star shortstop,” Foscue said. “A lot of ups and downs.”
