The double drove home two runs to give the itexas Rangers a 5-4 win over Oakland on Thurs- Iday and a three-game sweep of the Athletics. I “We knew we had to do that,” said Brian Jordan, who scored the winning run. “It definitely does a lot for our confidence.” Texas, a surprise contender after four straight last-place finishes, moved within two games of the AL West-leading Athletics with 10 to play.

Then the stage got set for Dellucci, who was in a 5-for-44 slump and had been robbed of a hit two innings earlier. But Dye couldn’t take another hit away. “The way he hit it, it had a lot of hook on it. It was a do-or-die play,” Dye said. “I had to dive and try to make the play. If not, it was going to the wall anyway.” Before Dellucci’s winner, Michael Young dou bled for his fourth hit and Mark Teixeira was in tentionally walked, his team-record fifth walk of the game. Jordan reached on a forceout. “I made sure to get to home plate and score. That turns the day around,” said Jordan, who was 0-for-5. “I rounded second base, and 1 heard the fans cheering.” GIBBONS CRjTg^ The Battalion Reservoir and Park \ Classified Advertising • Easy • Affordable • Effective Gibbons Creek Reservoir and Park offers a varity of outdoor activities.
