Athletics Beat Texas, 5-4
The Oakland Athletics had to overcome a fine effort from Texas pitcher Paul Blackburn to win, 5-4, in 12 innings at Globe Life Field. Blackburn went 7.1 innings and allowed 4 runs. The triumph puts Oakland at 72-63 for the season.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Zach DeLoach? The 26-year old left fielder DeLoach stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put Oakland up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," DeLoach told the Oakland Chronicle.
