Athletics Get 6-2 Win Versus Texas
Oakland pitcher Chief Bender did his part in helping his team defeat the Texas Rangers, 6-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Andrew Bailey picked up the save for Oakland, his 5th of the year. The loss makes Texas 29-45.

Oakland used a well-timed hit by Al Simmons to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Athletics ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Said losing manager : "Give the Athletics credit. They played a better game than we did."
