Rangers Scratch and Claw to 5-3 Win
The Texas Rangers faced a tough opponent in Oakland pitcher Roy Halladay, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Oakland Coliseum by a final score of 5-3. Halladay went 7.2 innings and allowed 5 runs. Larkin Braxton earned the save for Texas, his 9th of the year. The current losing streak for Oakland has reached 4 games.

Texas used a timely hit from Matt Holliday to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Holliday.
