Rangers Deal Athletics 9-1 Loss
The Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics, 9-1, at O.co Coliseum. Starting pitcher Matt Sigurdson was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Sigurdson, now 8-6, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 4, and allowing no runs. Texas has 5 straight wins, Oakland 4 straight losses.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Giesbrecht? The Texas second baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put the Rangers on top, 2-0. For the game, Giesbrecht had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Giesbrecht. "And not try to do too much."
