The Rangers secure at least a split in their four game series against the AL West leading A's. Texas with their most hits and most runs of the month, 14 hits paving the way for a 9-4 win over Oakland.
Nelson Cruz bats in the thrid spot for the first time in more than three years. Cruz responds with three hits and two RBI's. He's the fourth different guy in the three hole in the last five games, and Ron Washington uses his 10th different line-up in the last 12 games.
Justin Grimm only lasts five innings, giving up three runs, and trailing when he exits. But the offense rallies right back in the bottom of the fifth to make Grimm the first starter to win a game in the month of June.
The series finale at 1:05 this afternoon at the Ballpark. Josh Lindblom facing A.J. Griffin on the mound.
