Victory Pushes Rangers Record to 17-6
Yonny Chirinos never let the Athletics get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Rangers to a 4-1 win. Chirinos got the win, improving to 2-1. He allowed 5 hits and walked 1 over 6 innings. Chirinos allowed 1 earned run. Will Harris sewed up the save, his 7th.

Eric Thames had an important at-bat with one out in the top of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run double. His 3rd double of the season put Texas on top, 3-1.

"We've got a great group of guys," Thames said, "and we're having fun right now."

The Rangers, now 17-6, have been on a roll in the early going.
