BOX SCORE
PORT CHARLOTTE, Florida (Ticker) -- Alex Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro, Doug Mirabelli and Craig Monroe all homered as the Texas Rangers pounded a split squad of Minnesota Twins, 13-5, in their final Grapefruit League home contest. The Rangers close their exhibition slate on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays in San Juan, Puerto Rico before the clubs open the 2001 season on Sunday afternoon, also in Puerto Rico. Mirabelli, acquired from the San Francisco Giants earlier in the week, belted a three-run shot in the seventh inning. The Rangers banged out 14 hits against four Minnesota pitchers to improve their spring record to 16-11. Darren Oliver recorded the victory, allowing two runs and three hits over five innings with two walks and two strikeouts. J.C. Romero suffered the loss, yielding three runs and five hits over four frames. A.J. Pierzynski had two hits and two RBI for Minnesota. The Twins play exhibition games this weekend against Montreal and Tampa Bay before opening the regular season at Detroit on Tuesday.
