SURPRISE, AZ. -- Mike Napoli and Delino DeShields have been heating up, and they helped the Rangers to a 6-5 victory over the Rockies at Surprise Stadium on Monday.
Napoli had a double and a home run and is 5-for-10 with two home runs in his last four games. DeShields was on base with two walks and a single, scored a run and stole his 12th base of the spring. He is hitting .302 with a .448 on-base percentage in the Cactus League.
• Beltre held out of lineup with tight calf muscle 
"Delino continues to have great at-bats, swinging the bat well and running the bases well," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "Nap came alive today. Robinson Chirinos … two doubles, we swung the bats well."
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland, their first-round Draft pick from 2014, continued his quest for a spot in the rotation, but allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five.
"It was one of those games where nothing came easy. I had to battle every single hitter," Freeland said. "I was around the zone with competitive pitches, but command wasn't really dialed in."
• Musgrave keeps calm during big audition 
Freeland also had a two-run single off Rangers starter Carl Webster, while Alexi Amarista hit his first home run of the spring.
Closer Sam Dyson made his first appearance for the Rangers since returning from the World Baseball Classic and pitched a scoreless sixth. Keone Kela did so in the seventh, getting helped by catcher Robinson Chirinos picking off Rosell Herrera at second base as part of a double play that ended the inning. 
• Rangers release veteran Loney 
The Rangers picked up two late runs in the bottom of the eighth off newly acquired reliever Greg Holland, and the Rockies mounted a two-run rally in the ninth that fell short, as they left runners on first and second to end the game.
