Just like last night, the Rangers got on the board first. Unlike last night, it would not be enough offense to get the win as Oakland mashed two homeruns in the fifth to take a 5-1 lead and cruise to an eventual 5-3 win. Sean Nolin (1-1) got his first major league win while Yovani Gallardo took the loss to fall to 12-10.
Mike Napoli got the Rangers on the board in the second with a solo homer. Unofrunately it was one of just four hits the Rangers were able to get off of Nolin in the 5.
