The A’s dispose of the Rangers, 5 – 4, in a closely-fought 10-inning game. There is a controversial call in the 6th inning, when the Rangers’ Craig Gentry scores from third on a squeeze bunt by Elvis Andrus. Oakland P Brandon McCarthy argues vainly that he caught the ball on the fly, but the only result is that his manager Bob Melvin is ejected for pressing the case too much. Mitch Moreland hits a pair of homers for Texas, but Oakland keeps fighting back, and in the 10th, Kila Ka’aihue drives in Jonny Gomes with a single off Mike Adams to seal the win. Winner Ryan Cook extends his scoreless streak from the start of the season to 19 2/3 innings.
