MESA, Ariz. (AP) Delino DeShields tripled, had two hits and two RBIs, helping the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 10-3 Tuesday.

Elvis Andrus and Michael McKenry added two hits each for Texas.

Rangers starter Derek Holland allowed two runs - both unearned - and three hits in three innings.

Rangers right field prospect Nomar Mazara appeared to catch Coco Crisp's third-inning fly ball to the warning track but dropped the ball after a couple of steps for an error that allowed Billy Burns to score from first and Crisp to reach third.

Mazara was 1 for 3 and has hit safely in all five games he's played, going 8 for 14 (.571) with seven RBIs.

Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to back tightness that isn't considered serious.

Burns and Yonder Alonso had two hits each for the A's. Reliever Dillon Overton struck out five in two innings.
