In a low-scoring clash between Texas and Oakland, pitcher Jon Lester was a difference-maker. The left-hander earned player of the game honors for Texas in the 3-0 win. The save went to Anthony Swarzak, his 2nd this season. Texas, now 5-2, has played well in the early going.

Lester, a native of Tacoma, Washington, was dealing all game. He kept Oakland hitters off-balance, while giving the Rangers 8 quality innings. Lester threw 105 pitches, allowing 2 hits and striking out 2.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Lester.
