According to ESPN App

Following Josh Jung hit home run to right 348 feet scoring Travis Jankowski, Wyatt Langford in bottom of 10th inning following Texas 6-4 win over Oakland Sunday Texas manager Bruce Bochy had this to say about third baseman Josh Jung!

It’s kind of our style now. We changed it from last year, now playing a lot of tight ballgames and having to execute pitches, make plays and do little things to win the ballgame. They are doing a good job of that. We like to put up some big numbers, but that really hasn't happened for the most part this year, so you got to play the game they are playing well and win these tight ballgames.”

Following third baseman Josh Jung hit home run to right 348 feet scoring Travis Jankowski, Wyatt Langford in bottom of 10th inning following Texas 6-4 win over Oakland Josh Jung had this to say about hitting home run!

I was trying to push it,” Jung“I don't know what was going on. I just wanted it to leave the yard. It wasn’t a no-doubter if that’s what you’re asking. I was trying to push it.”

I think winning and having fun are kind of intertwined a little bit,“So yeah, we're having a good time. That was a really fun moment for me today. I was jumping up and down. I think when you start winning more games, fun comes with it.”

“It puts things in the right direction for me personally. Especially because the two at-bats before that, I had an opportunity to drive in a run with nobody out, and I didn't. Then I went out there and started over-swinging again. I felt like I just fixed that the other day, so being able to not lunge out on 100 mph and be able to turn it around is big for me.”
