Athletics Clip Rangers, 7-6
The Texas Rangers got a superb performance from left fielder Zhao-ji Chi. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Oakland. The Athletics won the game, 7-6. Chi was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Oakland reliever Germano Nunes got the win, raising his record to 3-5. Wayne Perry was tagged with the loss. Elijah Daniels recorded his 30th save for Oakland.

Oakland used the clutch hitting of Jason May to capture the win. The designated hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," May told the Oakland Daily.

The win elevated the Athletics to 80-75.
