Josh Smith went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs, and Joc Pederson ended a nine-run outburst in the first inning with a three-run homer to left center as the visiting Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 11-3 in spring training action Monday in Phoenix.

As the White Sox look to rebound from last year's historically bad season, all eyes are on the prospects this spring. And Colson Montgomery looked good on Saturday in his first action of the spring, belting a homer to right.

Baseball time is here again, with spring training officially underway ahead of next month's regular season opener between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Japan on March 18.
