Worth noting

• Saunders is back with the Rangers after being away for the birth of his third child. Saunders is expected to try running on the bruised ankle and see how much it has progressed since he tried running on it last week in Boston.

• Rangers reliever Joakim Soria took the loss on Saturday night, making him 1-1 on the season. The Rangers had 10 different pitchers get decisions through their first 10 games.

• Shortstop Elvis Andrus had an 11-game hitting streak going into Sunday's game. It's the second longest hitting streak ever by a Rangers player to open the season. Al Oliver hit in 13 straight to start the 1979 season.
