Doug Fister was solid in a brief tuneup for the regular season and the Rangers, back home in Texas two days after breaking camp in Arizona, beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 in an exhibition game Monday night.
Nomar Mazara and Rougned Odor each hit a long two-run homer off Reds starter Tyler Mahle. Delino DeShields, batting leadoff again, had an infield single and a bunt single for the Rangers, who were 0-10-1 in their last 11 spring training games in Arizona.
Fister struck out two while allowing a hit and a run over two innings.
