SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Delino DeShields led off Sunday's game against the White Sox with a first-pitch single off Michael Kopech. He stole second on the next pitch to Nomar Mazara and went to third on catcher Kevan Smith's throwing error.
He scored on Mazara's double and, after three pitches, the Rangers had a 1-0 lead.
"That's his game," manager Jeff Banister said. "We know what he can do when he gets on base."
DeShields could end up being the biggest offensive story of the spring for the Rangers, just as much or more than in 2015, when he emerged from Rule 5 obscurity to become the starting center fielder and leadoff hitter.
