Backup catcher Taylor Teagarden played in 28 games and got 71 at-bats in 2010. Although his opportunities were few, he took full advantage of them, particularly against the Oakland Athletics. He hit three of his four home runs against the A’s during a period of a week and a half. The long balls came on July 29, August 6 and August 7. His final homer was on August 18 versus the Tampa Bay Rays, the team the Rangers would beat for their first playoff series victory in team history.
Teagarden appeared in seven games after a September call-up, helping the Rangers grasp their first American League West title since 1999.
