Pat Putnam, who had a 3-for-3 night, drove in four runs with a pair of homers to help the Rangers snap their four-game losing streak with a 7-3 victory over the A's. Al Oliver batted in two runs with a homer and single as the Rangers continued their career domination of Matt Keough, beating the A's starting pitcher for the seventh straight time.
