ARLINGTON, Texas—Marcus Semien launched a two-run home run after getting hit in the helmet by a pitch, Adolis García stole home, and the Texas Rangers avoided being swept by Manager Bruce Bochy’s former team with a 7–2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

The first pitch thrown by Giants starter Keaton Winn was a 94.5 mph fastball that knocked Semien’s helmet off his head.
