Getting a good performance from first baseman Max Muncy, the Texas Rangers defeated the Oakland Athletics, 7-5. Muncy was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Rangers. Texas reliever Reyes Moronta picked up the win to move to 3-2. Blake Parker suffered the loss. Jake Diekman was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 2 save opportunities.

Muncy had no bigger at-bat than in the bottom of the eighth when the 28-year old first baseman hit a 2-run home run. The home run gave Texas the lead, 7-5. It was his 12th home run of the season.

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

Texas improves to 44-19 with the win. They lead their division by 9½ games.
