DETROIT -- The Rangers' first run Wednesday was a product of Willie Calhoun's inherent talent and a product of the work he did to make himself more athletic.

Calhoun doubled to start the Rangers' third -- he'd later homer and double again -- but then scored on a two-base sacrifice fly on Ronald Guzman's drive to the base of the wall in center. According to Woodward, Calhoun took an exceptionally good angle on his route to third base, allowing for a good cut. Third base coach Tony Beasley waved him home after seeing center fielder Jacob Jones momentarily stumble after the catch.

"I had no intentions of scoring, but when I saw [Beasley] waving me, I was going to go," Calhoun said. "I've always felt confident in my ability, but the work I've done, I think, is starting to show. I've surprised myself a little, but the player I am now, I think is the foundation for the player I will be."

In addition to his improved baserunning, Woodward cited improved routes on fly balls as a defender. It's allowed Calhoun to cover more ground. He made a running catch into the side wall at Globe Life Park over the weekend as one example.
