Semien, Perez help Rangers win 2-1 to sweep NL-champ Phils
Marcus Semien drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the fifth inningAPRIL 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Swats first homer of year Semien went 1-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Phillies.
Impact The second baseman got the rout started by driving the second pitch he saw from Zack Wheeler over the wall in right-center field in the first inning. Semien's 26 homers in 2022 were a bit of a disappointment after his 45-homer campaign the year before, but he made up for it with a career-high 25 steals. With one home run and one steal through the first two games of 2023, the 32-year-old could be a threat to deliver a 30/30 season.

Hitting well this spring Semien went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's spring game against the Athletics.
Impact Semien is batting .320 (8-for-25) with six runs scored over nine Cactus League contests. He fell off in all the major hitting categories in 2022, his first year with the Rangers, and he needs to bounce back in 2023 to justify the seven-year, $175 million investment Texas has in him.
