MLB fans amused by Rangers' Adolis Garcia's cartwheel dodge in ALCS Game 2 vs. Astros: "Bombi is a known gymnast"

Texas Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia turned an awkward slip into an acrobatic cartwheel in the batter's box during Game 2 of the ALCS against the Astros. It happened in the top of the second inning after Garcia was almost hit in the foot by a pitch from the Houston Astros' starter Framber Valdez.

Attempting to dodge the incoming ball, Garcia lost his footing but managed to perform an impromptu cartwheel.

While baseball purists might consider it an unnecessary flair, it undoubtedly broke the tension in an exciting ALCS contest. Fans took to social media to share the clip, making Garcia one of the trending topics of the night.

Beyond the acrobatics, Garcia and the Rangers had other reasons to celebrate. They have had a strong start against Valdez, scoring five runs off him during the first three innings.

Garcia himself made significant contributions to the Rangers' early offensive explosion, logging a hit, an RBI, and a run in the game. This strong start was a crucial factor for the Rangers, who are striving to extend their lead in the best-of-seven series.

The cartwheel episode, coupled with a solid performance, makes Game 2 a memorable outing for Garcia.
