SURPRISE, Ariz. - Takeaways and observations from the Rangers' 5-2 loss to Milwaukee on a Thursday evening that saw Shawn Tolleson make his first appearance of the spring and Ian Desmond play a second outfield position:
Three takeaways
-- Tolleson's time: In his first "A" game appearance of the spring, RHP Shawn Tolleson displayed a fastball in the 92-94 mph range, but more importantly, good command of his devastating changeup. He needed 14 pitches to work through the inning, giving up a sharply-struck single to Martin Maldonado. Tolleson missed about a week of workouts with back stiffness before pitching an inning in a minor league game on Tuesday.
