ARLINGTON, Texas -- While an unorthodox move, Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin figured the best chance to extend the game was to make sure Adrian Beltre didnt end it.Melvin never really anticipated what happened right after intentionally walking Beltre with one out in the 10th inning to reload the bases after Carlos Beltrans tying two-run single for Texas.After the four intended wide pitches to Beltre, reliever Marc Rzepczynski hit Rougned Odor on the shoulder with his next pitch, forcing home the winning run to give the AL-best Rangers a 5-4 victory Tuesday night.I threw one and it ran instead of sank. And it ran right into his shoulder, Rzepczynski said. That sums it up right there.John Axford (4-4) had walked the bases loaded before Beltrans single up the middle.

I felt good. Everything was coming out nice. I felt like I had my electric stuff todayy, Axford said.dddddddddddd But I wasnt finding the zone and some of the borderline ones, Im not going to get. Im all over the place, Im not going to get something close.TERRIFIC TRIGGSOakland rookie starter Andrew Triggs limited the Rangers to two hits and one run over 5 2/3 innings in his third career start.
