Hayes Shines in 5-2 Oakland Win
The Oakland Athletics polished off the Texas Rangers by the score of 5-2. The largest share of the credit belonged to catcher Frankie Hayes. Hayes belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Athletics. Chief Bender got credit for the win, improving to 10-7. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits in 6.2 innings. The 4th-place Rangers dropped to 41-63.

It could have been a different outcome for Oakland, had it not been for Jimmie Foxx, the 24-year old first baseman . Foxx contributed a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Oakland up, 2-0.

Foxx said afterward that he was glad to help his team win.
