Robert's Sport Report 6/28

Welcome to Robert's sport report. Today's game was the Texas Rangers against our local Oakland Athletics. Sadly, the home team took the win and beat the A's 7 to 6. However, it was an extremely close game throughout the whole 4 hours of the game. The starting pitcher for the Rangers was Feldmen who pitched 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 3 singles, no doubles or triples, but 3 home runs. He threw only 3 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk. Shepards came in in the 6th inning for the Rangers and gave up 2 runs on 3 singles, gave up 1 walk, and did not get any strikeouts. After him, Ross came in and pitched the 8th inning, walking one person and getting 2 strikeouts. And in the top of the 9th the feared closer Nathan came in and almost blew the save, giving up a walk and a single, but managed to scrape by with the save. For the Oakland Athletics the starting pitcher was Tyson Ross who pitched 4 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 singles and 1 double. He threw 3 strike outs and gave up no walks. In the 5th inning the A's had to use two different pitchers, Miller and Humberto, who combined gave up 4 runs on 3 singles. They threw 2 strikeouts and gave up 4 walks! In the 6th Scriptner came in and gave up one run on 2 walks. Doolittle pitched the next two innings and gave up 4 singles and 1 double. He threw 1 strikeout and did not give up any walks. It was a very good game throughout, but sadly the Oakland Athletics were not able to scrap together the runs necessary.
