MESA, Ariz. -- Outfielder Delino DeShields drove in two runs and catcher Brett Nicholas hit a two-run homer to help the Rangers notch a 10-3 victory over the A's at Hohokam Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
DeShields hit a run-scoring triple off A's starter Eric Surkamp in the third, jumpstarting a three-run inning that also featured an RBI single off the bat of outfielder Nomar Mazara.
Surkamp, in A's camp as a non-roster invitee, was on the hook for two runs in the inning, allowing three hits with two walks and two strikeouts in two-plus innings in his second spring start.
