CLEVELAND, May 25 (UPI) -- A three-base error by Ben Francisco in the top of the 10th inning Sunday allowed Texas to edge Cleveland 2-1.
On a two-out single to right-field by Ramon Vazquez, Jason Saltalacchia scored from first base after Francisco misplayed Vazquez' liner.
The contest was tied 1-1 after nine innings after Cleveland's Victor Martinez hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first and Texas' Ian Kinsler hit a solo home run in the top of the sixth.
Milton Bradley had two of the seven hits for the Rabgers, who have won three of four.
The winner was Jamey Wright (3-1). He gave up one hit in two scoreless relief innings. Closer C.J. Wilson recorded his 10th save after walking a batter in the bottom of the 10th.
The losing pitcher was reliever Masa Kobayashi (2-2). Texas starter Doug Mathis yielded an earned run on seven hits in six innings.
His Cleveland counterpart, C.C. Sabathia, gave an earned run on five hits and two walks in seven innings with five strikeouts.
