The Texas Rangers downed the Oakland Athletics, 4-3, at Oakland Coliseum. The Rangers were led by Bryce Harper, who captured player of the game honors. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and 3 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Texas reliever Yonny Chirinos, now 4-4. The loser was Blake Bivens. The Rangers bumped their record to 79-50 with this latest triumph.

Late-game drama came in the top of the 14th inning. With no one out and the bases empty, the batter, Cesar Hernandez, hit a double. It helped Texas seize the win.

"It was a solid team effort," said Harper after the game.
