Many contribute to Rangers' win, but Perez's pitching could have lasting impact | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Delino DeShields came off the disabled list less than three weeks after surgery on his left hand, just as he proclaimed he would, giving the Rangers their leadoff hitter and best center fielder.

His glove was bigger than his bat in his first game since March 30, as he jumped at the wall to rob Seattle Mariners catcher David Freitas of at least RBI double and maybe two-run homer.

"Actually, I don't even know if I robbed it," DeShields said. "But it was up there. It was at least the top of the wall."

Either way, and even if DeShields hadn't caught the high drive, the Rangers were a better team for the finale against the Seattle Mariners.
