Jon Gray allowed only a fourth-inning infield single in seven shutout innings, Leody Taveras and Brad Miller hit two-run singles during a five-run first inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Gray struck out nine and walked none, winning for the fifth time in his last six starts. He retired Oakland's first nine batters, striking out five, before Vimael Machin hit an 0-1 changeup that shortstop Marcus Semien got a glove on to his left but couldn't field. Gray threw 95 pitches, seven short of his season high.
The Rangers' Corey Seager had an RBI single in the first against Paul Blackburn but failed to homer, ending his streak of five consecutive games with a longball — the longest in the majors this season. It was Blackburn's first start since being named as Oakland's lone representative to Tuesday night's All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
