Rooker Blasts First Spring Homer, Drives In Three Runs

Brent Rooker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's Cactus League win over the Rangers. He launched his first spring homer off a Cal Quantrill slider in the second inning after driving in a run with a single in his first at-bat. The 31-year-old slugger has tallied 30+ homers and an OPS north of .800 in each of the past three seasons, establishing himself as a premier slugger.
