Rangers Rough Up Athletics, 8-3
The Texas Rangers used the hitting of left fielder Brandon McDonald to subdue the Oakland Athletics, 8-3. For the game, McDonald hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 4. Texas reliever Jeff Grabb picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Steve Clark absorbed the loss. With their winning streak at 4, the Rangers have raced to a strong start this season.

Had McDonald not come through in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have changed. Instead, with two down, McDonald hit a 2-run single. The Rangers never looked back after taking the 5-3 lead.

In comments to the Texas Citizen, McDonald admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
