Games Notes

Rangers open with an improbably 3-2 win.

Texas converts a bloop hit and 2 errors into 3 runs and a victory over Felix Hernandez. Rougned Odor opens the 5th with a walk and steals second. Third baseman Kyle Seager mishandled Elvis Andrus' grounder as Odor is heading to 3rd. After another walk to Delino DeShields, Jr., Hernandez walks Shin-Soo Choo to force in the 1st win, Prince Fielder drops in a bloop hit to score the tying run, and Ketel Marte mishandles a hard grounder off Adrian Beltre's bat for the go-ahead run.

Meanwhile, Cole Hamels goes 7 innings, allow 4 hits, 2 solo HRs in the 1st two innings, while striking out 8.
