GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Cesar Puello hit a three-run home run in the top of the eighth inning off of White Sox reliever Zack Burdi and the Rangers held on for a 10-8 victory at Camelback Ranch on Sunday.
The Rangers led 5-0 going into the bottom of the sixth when the White Sox put together an eight-run rally. Leury Garcia and Everth Cabrera had a pair of two-run singles in the outburst. Garcia had three hits as he tries to land a spot with the White Sox as a utility infielder. Center fielder Jacob May had two hits in his bid for a job as a reserve outfielder.
The Rangers offense was sparked by Delino DeShields, who continues to show why he is earning serious consideration for a spot at the top of the lineup. He was 2-for-3 with three runs scored and his fifth stolen base of the spring. Drew Robinson and Will Middlebrooks both hit home runs in addition to Puello's go-ahead blast.

White Sox starter Michael Kopech, one of the big pieces acquired from the Red Sox in the offseason Chris Sale trade, made his second start in the Cactus League and allowed a run on three hits in three innings. He struck out four.
"I think it's comfort really," said Kopech of his solid start. "There are still things I didn't execute on and I have to adjust to that for my next outing. I felt more comfortable. I think that really was what it was."

Rangers starter Mike Hauschild pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out three. He continues to emerge as a candidate for the Rangers rotation.
"Just the normal Spring Training build-up, and trying to build on my previous outings," Hauschild said. "Throw strikes, get ground balls and let my defense make plays."
