MESA, Ariz. -- Pedro Ciriaco and Hanser Alberto both tripled and drove in three runs and a Texas Rangers split squad earned a 12-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night.
Drew Stubbs added a hit and RBI and starter A.J. Griffin allowed a run and four hits and struck out four in five innings.
Oakland's Khris Davis hit a solo home run in the second inning off Griffin, a former A's starter who is returning after sitting out almost two full seasons recovering from major elbow surgery.
