How the Rangers' hitters fared: Scoring chances don't get much better than the ones the Texas Rangers had in the second and third, but they couldn't get a run either time. The Rangers didn't homer for the first time this season and were shut out for the first time since the '08 season finale.

How the Rangers' pitchers fared: Kevin Millwood turned in his third strong start to open the season but sits at 1-1 after losing a duel against Zack Greinke. Millwood tossed a complete game, allowing two runs on five hits. His ERA is 1.17, but the Rangers are 1-2 in his starts.
