Athletics 7, Rangers 1
Rob Bowen tags out Hank Blalock in the second inning Saturday. (Jeff Chiu/AP)
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
Nelson Cruz drilled an RBI double in the second inning, which would have plated two runs had Cliff Pennington not relayed a frozen rope to nab Hank Blalock at the plate. That proved to matter little, as Scott Feldman was outdueled by rookie Josh Feldman en route to the Rangers taking their first loss of the series.
