Rangers stomp on Blue Jays early to snap 3-game skid

Hitting has taken something of a backseat for Isiah Kiner-Falefa as he works at being a full-time catcher for the first time in his professional baseball career. So a night like Saturday was a welcome reward.

Kiner-Falefa hit a bases-loaded triple during a four-run second inning and drove in a career-high four to lift the Texas Rangers over the Toronto Blue Jays 8-5.

"I'm seeing the results pay off a little bit," said Kiner-Falefa, who was converted from a middle infielder as a rookie last season with Texas. "But I still have a long ways to go. Especially when you're working so hard, you want to see small victories. And today was a big one for me."

The Rangers ended a three-game skid by scoring eight runs in the first three innings. Lance Lynn (4-2) won for the fourth time in five starts despite allowing five runs in six innings. He walked five, struck out three and threw two wild pitches.

"There were a couple of pitches I'd want back and a couple of runs I probably shouldn't have given up, but that happens," Lynn said.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. recorded his 1st MLB RBI in the Toronto Blue Jays 8-5 loss to the Texas Rangers. 1:25

Thomas Pannone (1-3) allowed seven runs in 2 1/3 innings in making his second spot start of the season. Pannone gave up five hits and three walks while striking out one.

"He didn't have his command, and he was off from the beginning," Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. "We have to give him a little bit longer because of what we had in the bullpen."

Nomar Mazara hit his sixth homer of the season in the first inning.

The other RBI for Kiner-Falefa, who went into the game with four hits in his previous 33 at-bats, came on a fielder's choice in the third inning.

"It's a lot to ask, the things we're demanding from him," Rangers manager Chris Woodward said of Kiner-Falefa. "I'm excited he got some positive results with the bat because he can hit."

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in Justin Smoak in the first inning for his first major league RBI, in his seventh game. In 2010, rookie Smoak drove in Vladimir Guerrero Sr. for his first major league RBI with the Rangers.

"Well, baseball, it's crazy," Guerrero Jr. said. "I feel very happy with myself for my first RBI, for hopefully many, many to come."
