Texas first baseman Sean Geisler had a good game, even if his team did not. The Rangers dropped a 7-6 decision to Oakland at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Geisler was 2 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks, while scoring 3. Oakland pitcher Gabe Baxter got the win. He's now 1-0. Isaburo Ishihara was tagged with the loss. George Rubio was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 4 of 10 save opportunities.

Oakland relied on the bat of Tommy Baird to get the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Athletics ahead, 2-1. For the game, Baird had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Baird said.

Oakland is now riding a 3-game win streak.
