Rangers 7, Athletics 2
ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run fifth inning, Martin Perez won his first career start and the Rangers won their fifth straight. Texas became the majors' first team to reach 50 victories and has won 17 of 21 since June 8. Oakland committed two errors in the fifth that led to five unearned runs, including a miscue by shortstop Brandon Hicks right before Hamilton's at-bat.
