MINNEAPOLIS -- The Rangers defense let them down in the first inning, setting the tone for their worst game of the season. Vans Shoes Australia .Chi Chi Gonzalez recorded just two outs in his second start of the season, and Texas lost 17-5 to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.Ryan Rua and Robinson Chirinos homered for the AL-leading Rangers, who had won five of seven. Rua and Chirinos each had two hits and two RBI.Max Kepler homered twice and set a Twins rookie record by driving in seven runs. Eduardo Nunez had four hits for Minnesota, which scored at least three runs in four of the first five innings.Gonzalez (0-1) walked two batters and gave up two hits in Minnesotas four-run first. He was hurt by poor defense, with misplays on three consecutive batters extending the inning.With two on and one out, Gonzalez snagged Brian Doziers comebacker, but Rougned Odor dropped the throw to second base, erasing a chance for an inning-ending double play. Kepler then grounded softly to first baseman Mitch Moreland, who threw home too late to force Nunez.Finally, Eduardo Escobar hit a potential double-play grounder, but shortstop Elvis Andrus dropped Odors feed. He recovered in time to retire Kepler, but that opened the door for Juan Centenos two-run single.Rangers manager Jeff Banister pulled Gonzalez after 38 pitches.You get into a situation like that -- young kid, could have pushed him to one more hitter, Banister said.

The Rangers finally turned to backup catcher Bryan Holaday for the last four outs.Super frustrating, Gonzalez said. I felt good going into the game. I had my confidence up.

He used a hybrid, as he put it, to retire all four batters on lazy fly balls to the outfield.I mess around pretty much every day, he said of his preparation for pitching. Obviously no one wants that, but when you play 162 games its going to happen. Im just glad I could help out and save some arms.Holaday said he had pitched once in Triple-A, retiring both batters he faced.Hopefully I dont get overexposed, he deadpanned.INTERNATIONAL SIGNINGSSaturday was the first day of the 2016 MLB international signing period.
