Rangers Need Extra Frames to Get Past Cubs
The Texas Rangers eked out a 5-4 win versus the Chicago Cubs at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Nobody did more than pitcher Jon Lester, who captured player of the game honors. Texas reliever Anthony Swarzak picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Tony Cingrani took the loss. The Rangers, now 2-0, have played some good baseball in the early going.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from shortstop Andrelton Simmons. For the game, Simmons went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. In the bottom of the tenth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 4th hit of the season gave Texas a 5-4 lead.

In postgame comments, Simmons said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
