Athletics Earn Late 10-9 Win
The Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers lit up the scoreboard.

The Oakland Athletics withstood a fine game by Texas designated hitter Scott Pabian at Globe Life Park in Arlington, to upend the Rangers, 10-9. Pabian was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Brent Vaught, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 4 hits in 2.1 innings.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Robert Morales came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Texas pitcher Steve Dixon, he hit a 1-0 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 10-9.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Morales.

The second-place Athletics now have a win-loss record of 63-64.
