Because of position switches, Texas reliever Josh Sborz batted ahead of García and took three of four pitches for a strikeout.The line-drive double down the left-field line from García could have scored Travis Jankowski, but he jogged to third, preserving Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez’s club record of nine RBIs in a game set in 1999.“I was just looking for a certain pitch in a certain zone and wasn’t trying to do too much and overthink,” García said through an interpreter of his final two at-bats. “Just try to make good contact.”García...

Dear Mayo Clinic: My 14-year-old daughter goes to bed each night around 10 p.m. Some nights she complains that she cannot fall asleep until hours later. Although she wakes up and says she isn’t tired, she does sleep in on weekends. I’m concerned about insomnia, but I’m also worried it’s affecting her ability to concentrate in school. What advice do you have?A: Lots of children your daughter’s age have trouble falling asleep easily at night. Though one might say your daughter has bouts of insomnia, in many cases, the reason for sleep challenges can be traced back to habits a child has developed that interfere with good sleep.

To be well-rested and to help them stay healthy, teenagers need about eight to 10 hours of sleep each night. Healthy sleep is important for many reasons. It can fight stress, improve mood and attitude, and provide energy. Whe...
