Rangers 6, Mariners 4
ARLINGTON, Texas — Nelson Cruz became the third player ever to homer in the first four games of a season, Derek Holland pitched six effective innings and the Rangers remained one of four unbeaten teams. Texas (4-0) is off to its best start since opening 7-0 in 1996, following up a three-game sweep of Boston. Cruz joined Willie Mays (1971) and Mark McGwire (1998) with homers in the first four games.
