Rangers Absorb 6-1 Loss at Oakland Coliseum
Kyle Muller never let the Rangers get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Athletics to a win, 6-1. Muller picked up the win for Oakland, going 5 innings. He gave up 1 run on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 8-8. The 5th-place Rangers have lost 4 straight games.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from third baseman Jermaine Palacios. For the game, Palacios was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 4th home run of the season gave Oakland a 2-1 lead.

"It's easier to pitch when you get run support," said Muller.
