A sacrifice fly by Mitchell Page in the 10th inning produced the winning run as the A's outlasted the Rangers, 8-7. Jeff Newman led off the 10th with a triple and was replaced by pinch-runner Miguel Dilone. The next two batters were walked intentionally to fill the bases before Tito Fuentes grounded into a force at the plate and Page hit his fly to shallow right.
