Adjustments pay off Peters went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over Oakland.

Impact Peters cracked three long balls during the three-game set against the Athletics, which came as a surprise after an initial non-descript run with the Rangers. He and manager Chris Woodward credit adjustments made to his stance for the sudden burst of power, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The biggest tweak was to become more square in the batter's box. "He has the ability to check out pitches, but also has the adjustability to stay on some breaking balls and off speed pitches while still hitting the fastball," Woodward said. Peters has appeared in all 12 games since the Rangers claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers, and with the new plate mechanics, he figures to get plenty more starts between now and the end of the season.
