White Sox on Friday night.Rougned Odor, Robinson Chirinos and Nomar Mazara homered in a seven-run second inning. Joey Gallo and Choo went deep in the third as the Rangers won for
the 10th time in 12 games.Choo matched the streak that the Philadelphia Phillies’ Odubel Herrera put together March 30-May 19.”Honestly, I don’t feel anything special,” Choo said afterward. ”I’m just happy for winning the first game of a three-game series.”Yovani Gallardo (2-0), making his third start since joining Texas on June 17, retired his first 10 batters and allowed all three runs on four hits and one
walk in 7 1/3 seven innings. Gallardo struck out seven.The 32-year-old who grew up in nearby Fort Worth is in his second stint with the Rangers after being released by Milwaukee in March and designated for

He retired all three batters he faced, closing

a native of Latin America.—A Santa Clara County judge ruled Wednesday that San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will not have to stand trial on domestic violence
charges after determining there was no evidence that Foster ever hit his
ex-girlfriend.Judge Nona Klippen said prosecutors didn't meet the burden of probable cause on charges of felony domestic violence and forcefully attempting to dissuade a
witness.Foster was also charged with felony possession of an assault weapon after officers found a Sig Sauer 516 short-barreled rifle in his home while
investigating his ex-girlfriend's domestic violence report. That charge was
reduced to a misdemeanor.The 49ers have not allowed Foster to take part in the offseason program while he dealt with these charges and general manager John Lynch had said he would be
cut from the team if it was determined that he hit a woman. Foster will be
allowed back Thursday now that the domestic violence charges have been
dropped."It has been made clear to Reuben that his place on this team is one that must continue to be earned," Lynch said. "We will continue to monitor the
remaining misdemeanor charge."The prosecutor's office released a statement expressing disappointment in the judge's decision."We are disappointed because the evidence demonstrated that Mr. Foster seriously hurt his girlfriend," the statement said. "Some have wondered why we
still think Mr. Foster hurt his girlfriend when she said that he didn't.
Recantation is common among domestic violence victims. Some are scared, some
feel guilty, some are coerced, some need money. Whatever the cause, we move
forward on cases when victims falsely recant because we know that if we don't
more victims will be hurt."The accuser Lorenzo Alexander Jersey , Elissa Ennis, recanted her accusations two days after telling police she was hit in the head eight to 10 times by Foster. She
testified at a preliminary hearing last week that the injuries were caused by a
fight with another woman and she gave prosecutors video of that fight. She said
she lied initially because she wanted retribution after Foster tried to end
their relationship.Klippen said recantations aren't uncommon in domestic violence cases but said there was no supporting evidence in this case that Foster had attacked
Ennis."The injuries appear more consistent with a fight with another woman on a street than with being hit in the head by this defendant," Klippen said while
ruling from the bench.Klippen also pointed to the fact that Ennis appeared "unusually calm" while making a second 911 call reporting the incident. A bystander who gave her a
phone to make the call testified she wasn't frantic and didn't appear to have
serious injuries, and there was no evidence of prior abuse. Ennis also testified
that she had made false allegations in another case after a boyfriend broke up
with her.Prosecutor Kevin Smith had no comment while leaving the courthouse after the ruling and Foster only gave a thumbs-up before getting into a car with his
attorney.The 49ers drafted Foster 31st overall last year after questions about his health and character caused him to drop from being a possible top 10 pick.Foster delivered on the field, ranking second on the team with 72 tackles in 10 games as a rookie and looking like a key part of San Francisco's defensive
future."I'm excited to get him back, give him a hug and move forward," left tackle Joe Staley said.Foster was charged in January in Alabama with second-degree marijuana possession before the incident in February that led to this case. Foster is due
in court next month for a hearing in his marijuana case.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league will "continue to monitor all developments in the matter which remains under review." Womens Fred Warner Jersey
