Harper Helps Rangers Run Win Streak to 7
Texas right fielder Bryce Harper was a significant contributor in his team's 7-4 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. He went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for Texas. Jon Lester got the win, improving to 4-1. He held the Athletics to 4 earned runs on 5 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 1. Oakland, at 7-18, is off to a poor start in 2018.

"I believe in our guys," said Texas skipper Eric Ferraro. "I like the energy they're playing with."
