Rallying Rangers Get 1-0 Win
The Texas Rangers, despite a fine performance by Oakland pitcher Lefty Grove, grabbed a 1-0 win in 10 innings at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Grove allowed no runs over 9 innings. With the win, Texas goes to 42-63, while the Athletics fall to 60-44.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Texas right fielder Ruben Sierra, facing Dennis Eckersley, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Rangers the 1-0 win.

"We had a hellacious effort," said Rangers manager . "We hung in there and hung in there."
