 Josh Reddick had three hits and Stephen Vogt joined Cespedes and
Jaso in recording two hits apiece as the Athletics won for the
fourth time in five games. Eric Sogard and Craig Gentry each scored
twice for Oakland.
Scott Kazmir (12-3) allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings
to move into a tie for most victories in the American League. Adam
Rosales hit a two-run homer and Adrian Beltre added a solo shot for
the Rangers, who lost for the 29th time in 35 games.
Jaso and Vogt had run-scoring singles and Cespedes bashed his
two-bagger during a five-run second-inning uprising off Miles
Mikolas (1-3), who allowed eight runs (seven earned) and seven hits
in 4 2/3 innings. Rosales homered in the bottom of the second to get
Texas on the board.
Sogard doubled in a run in the fifth and Jaso doubled in two later
in the inning to make it 8-2. Reddick smacked a run-scoring single
in the sixth and Beltre went deep for the Rangers in the eighth.
