Athletics Saddle Rangers with 7-3 Loss
Oakland right fielder Joel Kunkler was a significant contributor in his team's 7-3 triumph over the Texas Rangers. He was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Oakland. Oakland, at 85-73, is 2½ games up in the American League West Division.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Sakae Kasahara to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Kunkler, "and go after the next one."
