6-3 Loss to Rangers Extends Oakland (Rk+) Losing Streak
The Texas (Rk+) Rangers beat the Oakland (Rk+) Athletics, 6-3, at Black Diamonds Ballpark. The win was due in part to second baseman Cody Moon, who was 4 for 4 with 4 singles. He scored 3 runs. The winning pitcher was 20-year old right-handed pitcher Fernando Casteneda. He tossed 81 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Ryan Stock sewed up the save, his 1st.

Kyle Griffith hit a bases-clearing triple off Chris Valentine in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Rangers in front, 5-2. Griffith had 1 walk, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 1 for 3.

"We've hit a lull," said Oakland (Rk+) manager Matt Eveler.

The first-place Athletics now sit at 41-33.
