ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rusty Greer’s three-run homer highlighted a five-run first inning and Kenny Rogers matched a career high with his 16th victory Wednesday as j the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 11-2. The Rangers kept alive their slim hopes for the fran chise’s first playoff appear ance in 23 years. Another loss by Texas or a victory by New York will knock the Rangers out of the wild card race. Rogers (16-7) im proved to 4-0 in Septem ber, keeping the A’s in check on six hits over eight in nings. Rogers struck out two and walked two, taking advantage of the big early lead by throwing strikes and letting the A’s put Gonzalez the ball in play. Oakland, already eliminat ed from post-season con tention, lost its fifth straight. Will Clark started the first- inning outburst against Todd Van Poppel (4-8) with a solo homer, his 15th. Juan Gonzalez followed with a single, took second on Mickey Tettleton’s single and scored on a single by Ivan Ro driguez. Van Poppel allowed nine hits and nine runs in just 4 and 1/3 innings, although only seven of the runs were earned. An error by Van Pop- pel contributed to the Rangers’ scoring outburst.
