DeShields hits grand slam for Rangers, but this is what they needed to beat the Cubs

Delino DeShields launched his first career grand slam Sunday and Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer in a four-run seventh, but the Texas Rangers needed a wild pitch in the ninth inning to beat Chicago Cubs for the second straight game, winning this one 11-10.

Lance Lynn surrendered seven runs in 5 2/3 innings Rangers debut, but the Rangers managed to win 2 of 3 games to open the series ahead of a three-game set against the Houston Astros.

DeShields’ shot to left field capped a five-run fourth against former Rangers ace Cole Hamels and erase a 4-0 deficit.
