A's roughed up in loss to AL West foe Rangers

MESA, Ariz. -- Delino DeShields tripled, singled and drove in two runs as the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 10-3 Tuesday.

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

"We have a lot of discussions as an offense about being aggressive, about getting your pitch and getting good swings at it, and I think we've done a good job of doing that all spring," DeShields said. "We take that to heart. It's just a matter of just finding the barrel of the bat and taking good swings and taking a good approach at the plate.
