Athletics Stumble, Lose to Rangers
Yulieski Gurriel was instrumental in his team's 10-3 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. The first baseman went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Texas Rangers. The win gives Texas a season record of 41-18.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth when Gurriel, who finished 2nd in the NL in doubles with 45 last year, hit a 3-run home run. It propelled the Rangers into the lead, 3-0.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Gurriel said. "We did a good job of that today."
