The game was halted after nine innings.

Baxter, claimed off waivers from the New York Mets last fall, had a double and a sacrifice fly.

Shin-Soo Choo, who signed a $130 million, seven-year contract with the Rangers this offseason, went 0 for 2 with a strikeout, dropping his average to .176. Choo did drive in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
