Rangers Sneak By Athletics, 3-2
Texas rode a decent outing from starter Jonathan Stiever to victory over the Oakland Athletics. The final score was 3-2. Victor Arano, credited with the save, is now 2 for 4 in save opportunities. The victory puts Texas at 48-78.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for George Springer? The Texas right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rangers on top, 1-0. For the game, Springer had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Tough ballgame, tough loss," said Oakland manager Jonesy Jones.
