Mauer had not played any other fielding position but catcher at the major league level during his career. The 2009 American League MVP hit third in the lineup Thursday and had a pair of singles and two RBI through the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to nine games.
Mike Moustakas drove in the lone run for the Royals, who had a two-game winning streak snapped.
Danny Duffy (1-3) suffered the loss, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Axford gave up solo home run in the ninth to Ramon Hernandez, but retired All- Star second baseman Brandon Phillips with runners at the corners to end the game.
Josh Hamilton drove in four runs and Michael Young hit a solo home run for the Rangers, who have run off four straight wins.
Rich Harden (1-1) suffered the defeat in just his second start of the season. He gave up five runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and two walks over five frames. Oakland has lost three of four.
The Rangers started their offensive surge in the first as Ian Kinsler doubled to left, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Hamilton's grounder to short.
After Mitch Moreland's double, Mike Napoli drove home the first of two fourth-inning runs with a single to center. Hamilton's sacrifice fly scored Endy Chavez later in the frame for a 4-0 margin.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
