Athletics Spill Rangers, 4-3
The Oakland Athletics did just enough to sneak past the Texas Rangers, 4-3, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Oakland pitcher Nick Kirk, in particular, had a standout performance. Elijah Daniels, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 22nd save. Oakland now sits at 70-65, while Texas falls to 69-66.

Oakland relied on the hitting of Quincy Bradford to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Athletics on top, 4-2. For the game, Bradford had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Kirk called the win "a collective effort."
