Texas right-hander Justin Verlander pitched his team to victory over the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. The final score was 6-5. Verlander, now 16-3, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 6, walking 0, and allowing 5 runs. Sean Doolittle notched his 24th save in 26 chances.

Jason Heyward provided a timely hit. The Texas center fielder delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rangers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"Justin was Justin," said Rangers manager Rangers GM. "We know what we'll get whenever he takes the mound."
