ARLINGTON — Andrew Heaney rebounded from his worst start to the season, a struggling Marcus Semien had a multi-hitter for the first time in two weeks and the Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Guardians 2-0 on Saturday.
Heaney (6-6) allowed six hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings, striking out four. On Sunday against Washington, the 31-year-old left-hander allowed eight runs, the most of his life.
He had come off the paternity list after his twins were born.
Grant Anderson relieved with runners on the corners and forced Tyler Freeman to hit into a double play. Closer Will Smith got five outs in the seventh and eighth innings, while Aroldis Chapman struck out twice during a ninth in which he gave up one hit.
It was the first save situation for Chapman since he was acquired from Kansas City on June 30.
Gavin Williams (1-2) allowed both runs and four hits. He walked four in five acts in what was his first major league start since being called up from Triple-A Columbus on Jan. 20.
For the Guardians, Dominicans Amed Rosario 4-0, José Ramírez 4-1.
For the Rangers, Cuban Adolis Garcia 3-0 with an RBI. The Dominican Leody Taveras 2-0.
