Athletics Take Tight Tilt, 6-5
The Texas Rangers got a sterling performance from shortstop Corey Seager, but the Oakland Athletics still prevailed, 6-5. Seager was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Dennis Eckersley snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Pete Richert suffered the loss. Texas now has a record of 15-17.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Oakland pinch hitter Jason Giambi, facing Francisco Cordero, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Athletics the 6-5 win.

"What a great game, great atmosphere," Giambi said.
