Third baseman Adrian Beltre blasted a homerun and had 2 RBI at Rangers
Ballpark as the Texas Rangers staged a comeback win over the Oakland A's by
the count of 6 to 4.
 
Texas won the game with a rally in the 9th inning as they scored 4 runs on 4
base hits.  The key offensive moment was provided by Mitch Moreland who made
the crowd come alive when he blasted a two-run home run.  Texas finished with
12 hits while Oakland ended up with 5.  
 
Neftali Feliz(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 1 inning. Grant
Balfour(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief.  His ERA increased from 1.50
to 4.26 as he allowed 4 runs in 2/3 of an inning.  
 
'What a game!,' Feliz said afterward.  'When we won it I almost couldn't
believe it!'
