Athletics Get Road Win, 8-5
Benefiting from Didi Gregorius's productive game, the Oakland Athletics downed the Texas Rangers, 8-5. Gregorius went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Athletics. Reliever Zach Davies picked up the win. His record improves to 3-6. Alex Wood took the loss. The Athletics move to 41-62 with the win, while the Rangers drop to 66-37.

Gregorius contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Oakland in the top of the fourth. With his team trailing 5-4, Gregorius took a knuckle curve from Alex Wood and stroked the home run to left. His 12th home run of the season allowed the Athletics to leap in front, 8-5.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Gregorius told the Oakland Citizen. "It's as simple as that."
