Rangers Score Decisive 10-3 Win Over Athletics
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, knocking off the Oakland Athletics, 10-3. On the mound for Texas was left-hander Matt Harrison. He played a key role in the triumph. Harrison, now 10-15, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 9, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The Rangers now have a record of 65-94.

Nelson R Cruz had a big 3-run home run for the Rangers in the bottom of the first inning. With Texas leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Tim Hudson and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Rangers on top, 5-0.

"Things didn't bounce our way," said Oakland skipper .
