ARLINGTON (September 15, 2009)--Rajai Davis scored the first run then
matched a career best with four RBIs for the Oakland Athletics, who
delivered another blow to the Texas Rangers' playoff chances with a
6-1 victory Tuesday night.
Texas is 1-4 on its homestand and 5½ games behind AL wild-card
leader Boston. The Rangers have their largest deficit for a playoff spot all season with only 18 games left.
David Murphy's leadoff homer in the fourth snapped the Rangers' 22-inning scoreless streak, their longest in five years, but they were down 4-1 and didn't score again.
Craig Breslow (7-7) worked two scoreless innings in relief for the last-place Athletics, who have won seven of nine.
