    Avisail Garcia having All-Star season despite unrest from his native homeland Venezuela

    Avisail Garcia credits better focus for his breakout season. “I’m older now and I have more experience,” the Chicago White Sox’s 26-year-old right fielder said. “I understand the hard work you have to put in every day to be a good player, the concentration you need to have. I feel like I have a good (pregame) routine now, and I’m ready to play every day.” Garcia’s statistics bear that out. He leads the American League in hitting with a .341 batting average is tied for fourth with 51 RBI despite playing on a team that was in last place in the AL Central with a 31-39 record and seven games behind the division-leading Cleveland Indians.
