Beating himself, Steve Barr uncorked a wild throw and wild pitch to allow the Athletics to score their winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Rangers. With two out in the seventh inning, Phil Garner beat out an infield hit. Pinch-runner Larry Lintz raced to third when Barr's attempted pickoff went wild and scored moments later on the lefthander's wild pitch.
