Earlier in the day we learned that the Texas Rangers had called up Branford, CT native and former UConn Huskies third baseman Mike Olt from Double-A.
Rangers manager Ron Washington wasted no time putting Olt in the Rangers lineup as he is batting eighth and playing first base. Well, Olt didn’t have to wait long for his first MLB hit as he singled off of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim starter C.J. Wilson in the 2nd inning in his first at-bat.
