Gerald Laird left the yard and had 4 RBI as the Texas Rangers topped the
Oakland A's by a score of 4 to 1 at McAfee Coliseum.
 
Laird was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at
their team's expense.  He doubled with all three runners coming home in the
4th inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 1st of the season) in
the 9th inning.  Texas had 9 hits for the game and Oakland had 5.  
 
Kameron Loe(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 4 and 1/3 innings. Greg
Smith(0-1) took the loss.  He surrendered 4 runs and 8 hits in 8 and 2/3
innings.
