This road trip has gone all of Texas' way so far picking up another victory last night against the dreaded Oakland Athletics by a score of 5 to 4. This is especially incredible with Texas having to battle the injury bug as well having pitchers and hitters out. Speaking of injuries, reigning American League player of the week went out of the game in the 4th inning due to tightness in his back. Hopefully this injury is not cause for concern.
Going into the 9th inning the Rangers were down 4 to 3, with 2 outs. Josh Wilson got them on the board with double into left field that came close to getting out of the ball park, which scored Martin home. Martin had an incredible 8-2 double play gunning down the runner mid way center field which was the defensive play of the game in my book. Anyway getting back to scoring, Michael Choice the former Oakland Athletic drove in the game leading RBI singling into center to get Wilson home to score. Joakim Soria would then go out into the 9th inning and get his fifth save of the season getting the Rangers to only a 1/2 game behind Oakland. Rangers look to go for the sweep of this 3 game series this afternoon at 2:33 central time
Highlights: Rangers vs. Athletics
