ANAHEIM, Calif.—A.J. Alexy managed to follow up his outstanding major league debut with something even better. Two starts into his career with Texas, the confident, rangy right-hander has made history by throwing 11 scoreless innings of two-hit ball.

He’s even been good enough to stir some optimism and excitement at the end of the Rangers’ fifth straight losing season.
