Rougned Odor's bases-loaded single plated Shin-Soo Choo with the winning run in the 10th inning to give the Texas Rangers an 8-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Shin-Soo Choo doubled to right field. Robinson Chirinos and Carlos Peguero both walked. R.J. Alvarez then replaced Ryan Cook (0-2) on the mound. Odor's ground ball deflected off the glove of a diving Marcus Semien and into center field to plate Choo.
