Giesbrecht has 4 hits tonight, Leads Rangers to Win
In a high-scoring game between Texas and Oakland, second baseman John Giesbrecht was a difference-maker. The 29-year-old helped Texas grab the 10-8 win. He was 4-4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Texas reliever Lu-shan Zhào picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Josh Thorpe absorbed the loss. Brad Kramer finished to wrap up his 4th save.

In the bottom of the seventh, Texas right fielder Cody Flowers had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and two out, Flowers stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 10-8, Texas. For the game, he was 1 for 2.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Giesbrecht told the Texas Herald.

The win gives Texas a record of 12-3.
