SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Joey Gallo has hit five homers in his first seven spring training games, giving the Texas Rangers hope that the slugger can bounce back from a tough 2020 season. The 27-year-old was an All-Star in 2019 but his had just a .181 batting average in last year’s pandemic-shortened season. He’s among a handful of veterans who have looked good this spring after struggling in 2020, including Blue Jays left-hander Robbie Ray and Diamondbacks lefty Madison Bumgarner.
