Oakland Bats Go Silent in 3-0 Loss
Texas pitcher Franz Holzknecht did his part in helping his team beat the Oakland Athletics, 3-0. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. In 6.1 innings, Holzknecht surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 4. He allowed no runs. Kyle Curve picked up the save for Texas, his 19th of the year.

Texas relied on the bat of Butch Kaiser to get the win. The designated hitter produced a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 3-0. For the game, Kaiser had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

Holzknecht called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."

The second-place Rangers improved to 66-62.
