Kawachi Good, But Not Good Enough, in 16-10 Loss
The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics lit up the scoreboard.

The inspired effort of Oakland center fielder Muneo Kawachi was not enough to prevent a loss, 16-10, to the Texas Rangers. Kawachi hit 3 home runs. He scored 4 runs and drove in 5. Texas is now 68-66.

The Rangers got a big hit from first baseman Sean Geisler. In the top of the fifth, Geisler pounded a grand slam home run to right. His 18th home run of the season put the Rangers ahead, 13-7.

Oakland manager Daryl S. Oakland said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
