This win is very similar to their win in game four of their previous series against the San Diego Padres. Pitching allowed a few runs, while the offense remained quiet, despite responding immediately after Oakland drew first blood. In the seventh, Oakland jumped to a 2-1 lead and Texas came through at the very last minute. Texas won 5-2. Since 1972, Texas has a total of seven three-run walk-off homers.
Andrew Cashner pitched this game. He pitched 6.0 innings, allowing five hits, one run, and striking out two batters. He went on to receive a no-decision. Regardless, a good performance.
