Rangers Deny Athletics, 4-3
Texas designated hitter Jose Orozco picked up 3 ribbies while helping his team beat back the Oakland Athletics, 4-3. Orlando Parra earned the save for Texas, his 7th of the year. The loss makes Oakland 73-75.

Texas used the timely hitting of Andre Ethier to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rangers on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Oakland manager Jared M. "But we decided not to take it."
