Beltre's single drove in Nomar Mazara, giving the Rangers a 5-0 lead.
Beltre, 38, is three away from becoming the 31st member of the 3,000-hit club and would be the first Dominican-born player to reach the milestone. Beltre started the season on the disabled list with a strained right calf and made his season debut May 29 against the Rays.
