Athletics Rally For 5-2 Win
Oakland starter Joe Sorrells had a strong outing against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-2 win. Sorrells picked up the win for Oakland, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 15-3. Oakland leads the American League West Division by 18 games.

Oakland needed the clutch hitting of Jim Darr to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics on top, 5-1. For the game, Darr had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Sorrells.
