Big Day at the Plate for Hoskins Not Enough for Athletics
The Oakland Athletics got a sterling performance from left fielder Rhys Hoskins, but the Rangers still prevailed, 10-8. Hoskins was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He went 4 for 4 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 4 times and driving in 3. Kendall Graveman was the winner. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 1 strikeout. The Rangers, now 6-2, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Andrelton Simmons, who is a three-time Great Glove Award winner, aided the Texas cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh. For the game, the shortstop went 4-5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 runs.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Simmons told the Texas Today.
