Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus had to wait more than a month for his first home run of the 2020 season, but he chose the perfect pitcher -- and the perfect moment -- for dinger No. 1.
In his first game back from the injured list, the Rangers' longest-tenured player homered off Astros closer Ryan Pressly to tie the game up in the top of the ninth -- when it was "now or never" for his team -- and set up the perfect pairing of pitcher and homer hitter.
