Worth noting

• The Rangers scored a run in the first inning of two of their first three games against the Yankees. They won both games, improving to 16-2 when they plate a run in the opening frame.

• Adrian Beltre entered Thursday having gone a career-long 74 consecutive plate appearances without a strikeout, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It's the longest active streak in the Majors.

• Garza became just the fourth pitcher in Rangers history to work at least 7 1/3 innings without allowing an earned run in his debut with the club.
