Athletics Win at Texas, 4-1
Oakland and Texas duked it out and the Athletics came out victorious.

The Oakland Athletics topped the Texas Rangers, 4-1, in American League action at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The standout performance belonged to Oakland pitcher and Keller, Texas, native John LaMotte. LaMotte went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 2. His record improves to 4-15.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Sébastien Piat? The Oakland third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Athletics on top, 2-0. For the game, Piat had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said LaMotte.

The victory puts Oakland at 45-81.
