Rangers' Joey Gallo Goes 4-0 on Opening Night of MLB The Show 20 Players League

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo looks like the man to beat after going 4-0 on the opening night of the MLB The Show 20 Players League.

Gallo won his four games by a combined 30-6 score despite playing just three-inning games, and his opponents never seriously threatened victory throughout the night.

One of his wins was against Minnesota Twins RHP Trevor May 4-0, but May doesn't appear fazed by the loss:

The closest contest was a 1-0 extra-inning victory by Amir Garrett's Cincinnati Reds over Blake Snell's Tampa Bay Rays.

Garrett got the go-ahead and winning run on a sacrifice bunt, and the Rays' Twitter account explained how it felt about that in a post-round tweet:

Elsewhere, Boston Red Sox LHP Eduardo Rodriguez went scoreless and winless in his four matchups.

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers rounded out the night's players, and he split his four games.

Here's a look at the night's results, up-to-date standings and a rundown of the tournament's structure and purpose.
