Rangers Pick Up 4-1 Road Win Over Oakland
The Texas Rangers went home winners at Oakland Coliseum, thanks in large part to starter Kumar Rocker. Rocker stifled the Oakland Athletics, enabling Texas to grab the 4-1 win. Rocker, the winner, moves to 3-2. He threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 11 and giving up 4 walks. With the win, the Rangers sit at 20-18.

Texas relied on the hitting of Jake Johnson to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rangers on top, 3-0. For the game, Johnson had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Rocker called the triumph "a good team win."
