OAKLAND, Calif.
Charles Harris Womens Jersey . -- If he had
to choose one highlight play, Nelson Cruz preferred his run-saving, diving catch
to his towering, three-run homer. Those contributions with the bat and glove
played a huge part in the first-place Texas Rangers holding momentum in the AL
West with a 6-2 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday for a winning
series. Cruz connected for his 10th homer in the fifth, then chased down Brandon
Moss line drive to the gap in right-centre for a defensive gem to end the sixth
with Oakland runners on first and second. "I had four or five steps before I got
to the ball, I thought I had a chance before I dived," Cruz said. "I think the
catch in that situation was nice." Alexi Ogando thought so. He went on to earn
his first career win against Oakland. Ogando (4-2) didnt allow a hit until Eric
Sogards leadoff double in the sixth. The right-hander won his second straight
decision and earned only his second victory in seven outings since consecutive
wins starting the season. Cruz greeted reliever Jesse Chavez in the fifth with a
first-pitch drive to left, highlighting the Rangers four-run inning. "Hey, Im an
aggressive hitter," Cruz said, "Im not going to change my approach." Lance
Berkman hit a two-run single and Adrian Beltre added an RBI single a day after
hitting a 10th-inning home run. Elvis Andrus stole his ninth and 10th bases as
the Rangers won their first series in Oakland since Sept. 20-22, 2011. Ogando
was thrilled with Cruzs day -- especially that pretty catch. "Wow," the pitcher
said. "It was an excellent play that helped so much. Its what we needed at that
moment." Derek Norris hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth for Oaklands first run.
Coco Crisp, fresh off the disabled list, added one of his own in the seventh.
Last Oct. 3, Ogando entered in relief of the Rangers 12-5 loss in Game No. 162
and was tagged for four runs in the eighth inning as the As rallied to grab the
AL West crown away from the Rangers. Now, with the AL West-leading Rangers on a
nice roll in mid-May, Ogandos first road win in his last six outings gave Texas
some momentum heading home for a key four-game series with the Tigers starting
Thursday. The right-hander allowed two runs on four hits in six innings in his
majors-leading seventh road start, his second ever against the As and first in
the Coliseum. Cruzs home run gave the Rangers 14 in their last six games --
including three Tuesday night, two of them by Moreland. "Weve been playing real
well all season long," Cruz said. "The offence has been getting clutch hits all
year long, and the way Ogando threw was nice." The Rangers wrapped up a 6-3
trip, and these clubs meet again for three games beginning Monday in Arlington.
Texas played its majors-high 25th road game, but begins a four-game series
against AL champion Detroit on Thursday night. After losing the series opener
5-1, first-place Texas snapped a five-game losing streak in Oakland with a 6-5
win in 10 innings Tuesday night on the way to a third winning series in the last
four. "We wanted to come here and play good baseball and were fortunate we did,"
manager Ron Washington said. The As loaded the bases with one out against
Rangers reliever Michael Kirkman in the seventh, but got only Crisps sacrifice
fly. Oakland starter Dan Straily (1-2) had his problems, too. He plunked Ian
Kinsler and Andrus back to back to load the bases with two outs in the third,
then Berkmans single up the middle gave the Rangers the lead. Straily avoided
further damage in the fourth. After consecutive one-out walks to Mitch Moreland
and David Murphy, and a wild pitch that advanced them both, Straily got a pair
of flyball outs to escape unscathed. He walked four and struck out two in 4 1-3
innings of his second straight losing start and fourth consecutive winless
outing. "Were not playing well right now and we have to power through this, win
some games and get on a roll," manager Bob Melvin said. Crisp returned from a
strained left hamstring and went 0 for 3 in his usual leadoff spot and playing
centre field. NOTES: Rangers C Geovany Soto got a day off. ... As LHP Brett
Anderson experienced further soreness in his sprained right ankle after going
through pitchers fielding practice Tuesday. "Brett wont pitch tomorrow and maybe
not in the foreseeable future here," Melvin said. "Were just not past the
soreness that hes getting." ... After getting a break Wednesday, Oakland OF
Chris Young (strained left quadriceps) is scheduled to play one more rehab
outing Thursday with Triple-A Sacramento with the hope he will be activated from
the DL on Friday ahead of a home weekend series against the Kansas City Royals.
... Melvin will spend Thursdays off day next door at Oracle Arena cheering on
the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against
San Antonio. ... Texas RHP Yu Darvish (6-1) faces Tigers ace Justin Verlander
(4-3) in an anticipated matchup Thursday. The Rangers won seven of 10 vs.
Detroit last year for their most victories in the season series since going 8-3
in 1998. "Im just looking forward to beating Verlander," Rangers manager Ron
Washington said. ... Rangers RHP Justin Miller is scheduled to be sent on rehab
assignment Friday. He is on the 60-day DL recovering from elbow
ligament-replacement surgery.
Cordrea Tankersley Dolphins Jersey . It was
hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while
standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie
Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9
victory against the Colts on Monday night.
Raekwon McMillan Womens Jersey . As the crowd
erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14
to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along
with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to
overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on
Sunday night.
