Late Rally by Rangers Secures Win
Globe Life Park in Arlington was the site of a remarkable pitchers' duel.

Texas Rangers starter Jon Lester was in fine form against the Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Park in Arlington, leading his team to a 2-1 win. The first-place Rangers, at 65-36, now lead their division by 8½ games.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Texas trailing 1-0, Matt Wieters hit a fastball from Craig Kimbrel to left for a 2-run home run. Just like that, the Rangers had a walk-off win.

"We had a good game plan," Lester said, "and we were able to execute it."
