Colby Lewis became the first Texas pitcher to log a five-inning start, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts. David Murphy hit his first homer of the spring for the Rangers and added a triple in the fourth to finish 2 for 4.
Dodgers starter Josh Towers scattered three hits over four innings and gave up two earned runs.
