Rangers Bang Out 10-4 Win Versus Oakland
Joc Pederson helped his team muscle past the Oakland Athletics, 10-4. In the game, the Texas left fielder was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The save went to Matt Shoemaker, his 1st this season. The Athletics fall to 7-16 and continue their lackluster start to the 2018 season.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from right fielder Bryce Harper. For the game, Harper was 1 for 4 with a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 3rd double of the season gave Texas a 5-3 lead.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Pederson.
