Jake Smolinski left his imprint on the 5-4 Texas win against the Oakland Athletics. Smolinski was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Texas improves to 87-56 with the win. They lead their division by 5 games.

Texas used the timely hitting of Cesar Hernandez to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Rangers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Hernandez told the Texas Today.
