OAKLAND, Calif. Antonee Robinson USA Jersey . - The Texas Rangers finally showed their power, got a big day from veteran infielder Donnie Murphy and picked up a much-needed win for struggling starter Colby Lewis along the way. It was exactly the type of start manager Ron Washington hoped hed get from his club in the opener of this critical three-game series against the first-place Athletics. Murphy hit two of the Rangers season-high four home runs to back an uneven start by Lewis, and Texas beat Oakland 14-8 on Monday night. "We needed everything we put on the board," said Washington after the Rangers pounded out 16 hits and matched their season high for runs. "They kept fighting back but we didnt stop playing. Tonight it took 14 and we were able to get it." Michael Choice and Robinson Chirinos also homered, and Adrian Beltre drove in three runs to lead the Rangers to their fourth straight win at the Coliseum. Texas swept a three-game series in Oakland in April. The Rangers, who began the night eight games behind the division-leading As, nearly let the game slip away. They led 11-3 before Oakland scored four times in the sixth and once in the eighth. Murphy, who hit a two-run homer in the fourth, helped seal the victory with a solo shot in the ninth for his fourth career multihomer game. "Id be lying to you if I said I didnt get a little bit nervous right there when it got 11-8," Murphy said. "The game could have easily slipped away ... (but) we put together some good at-bats and got a few more runs and felt a little more comfortable again." Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run home run while Brandon Moss added his 17th for Oakland, which still owns the best record in the American League at 42-28. Lewis (5-4) allowed 10 hits and five runs over 5 1-3 innings to win for the first time since May 25. The one-time As farmhand, pitching on five days rest, worked in and out of trouble most of the night off the same mound he made his final appearance on in 2012 before missing nearly two full seasons due to a series of injuries. Lewis struck out two and walked three. "Up until the sixth inning he had only given up three runs, so he was pitching pretty good," Washington said. "Then his velocity came down a little bit and he just couldnt hit his spots anymore so I had to go get him." Coco Crisp got the As going early when he doubled past diving Texas centre fielder Robertson and scored on John Jasos single. Cespedes added a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. Texas tied it on Chirinos two-run single off Oakland starter Drew Pomeranz in the second, then broke the game open with a six-run fourth. Murphy hit a two-run home run, Dan Robertson added an RBI single and Rougned Odor scored on a fielders choice to chase Pomeranz. Beltres two-run double off reliever Ryan Cook made it 8-2. Beltre added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. "For a team that leads the league in pitching and usually holds clubs to under four, we havent been able to do that (lately)," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Lewis and five Texas relievers made the lead hold up. The As, who scored twice in the first, pulled to 10-3 on Moss towering solo home run in the fifth. Lewis left after giving up back-to-back doubles to Alberto Callaspo and Crisp in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Kyle Blanks drew a walk off reliever Robbie Ross Jr. before Cespedes hit his 13th home run to cut the gap to 11-7. Murphy and Chirinos hit back-to-back home runs off Fernando Abad in the ninth. Pomeranz (5-4) struggled in his shortest outing since joining the As rotation in early May. He allowed eight hits and eight runs — seven earned — with two walks and four strikeouts. "I got into some bad counts," Pomeranz said. "Once that happens you become predictable. They waited for mistakes and jumped on them." Callaspo had four hits for Oakland in his first game since being reinstated from the paternity list.

After losing Brett Cecil to groin tightness on Friday, the Blue Jays watched as R.WINNIPEG -- There was plenty of cheering from fans at MTS Centre on Sunday night, but most of it was aimed at the visiting team in Winnipegs 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. With Anaheim forward Teemu Selanne in the building, Jets fans voiced their appreciation for the man who began his NHL career with Winnipeg in 1992-93 by setting rookie records of 76 goals and 132 points. The crowd gave a roaring cheer during the singing of the American national anthem when the videotron showed the 43-year-old Finnish Flash. And Selanne received a standing ovation midway through the first period when the announcer at MTS Centre noted his storied career, which Selanne has said will end after this season. He stood up from the bench and acknowledged the cheering with a wave of his glove. "Some ways, you felt that I was on the home team," Selanne said with a laugh. After playing 231 games in a Jets uniform, Selanne was traded to Anaheim in February 1996 and didnt get to move with the Jets when they relocated to Phoenix and became the Coyotes at the end of that season. "I feel like even when I left, they have always been there after, too, so its a good feeling," he said. Selannes teammate Corey Perry was the on-ice hero for Anaheim when he capitalized on a Winnipeg mistake to score the winning goal. Jets defencemen Zach Bogosian had raced down the ice to grab a loose puck behind the net, but when he turned to clear it up the ice, he fanned on the shot and the puck went to Perry in front of the net. The Ducks winger quickly put a high shot above goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 14:29 to the groan of fans at MTS Centre. "If I didnt score that one, thered be something going on," Perry said. "I wouldnt tell you what would happen, but it wouldnt have been pretty. "It was a gift and those are the ones you have to capitalize on, especially right in front of the net with nobody around you." Goalie Viktor Fasth made 15 saves in a win that lifted Anaheims record to 2-1-0. Pavelec faced 33 shots for the Jets (2-1-0). Mathieu Perreault and Andrew Cogliano also scored for Anaheim, which concluded a season-opening, three-game road trip. Andrew Ladd had a pair of goals for Winnipeg and BBlake Wheeler assisted on both of them in his 375th NHL game. Gyasi Zardes Jersey. Captain Ladd wasnt blaming Bogosian for the loss. "We didnt deserve to win, regardless of that," Ladd said. "Really the only reason we were in the game still was (Pavelec). "Tough break. (Bogosian) slips and the puck ends up in the wrong area and in the net. Its not his fault at all. Its on everybody else in the room." Anaheim doesnt play in Winnipeg again this season unless the teams face each other in the playoffs. Jets coach Claude Noel was upset with his teams play, except for Pavelecs performance. "If you look at the way we played, we didnt deserve to win the game playing that way," Noel said. "We got saved by our goalie. And realistically, our goalie has saved us in all three games (this season). Hes been superb. Not average, superb." He added Bogosians error was a mistake that "sometimes happens." Even though the Jets were outshot 15-6 in the first period, they held a 2-1 lead on Ladds goals. First he deflected Wheelers wrist shot just 11 seconds into a power play to make it 1-0 at 9:06, but then Ducks centre Perreault tied it up a minute and 10 seconds later when he flipped in a loose puck despite Pavelecs best efforts to stop it. Ladd got the go-ahead marker at 16:17, catching Fasth out of position. After the puck bounced off the backboards, Fasth slid to the other side of his crease, but Ladd had quickly shot the puck into the open side. The Jets didnt get a shot on net until almost five minutes into the second period and couldnt capitalize on two power-play opportunities. Anaheim tied it up with four seconds left in the middle period when Cogliano redirected a Dave Winnik shot. The Jets didnt get their first shot on goal in the third period until almost seven minutes in, with Pavelec facing four shots in the same span. Notes: Winnipeg defenceman Tobias Enstrom has four assists in his first three games a Bogosian was playing in his 300th NHL game. He was drafted by Atlanta in the first round, third overall, in the 2008 entry draft ... The Ducks will mark the 20th anniversary of their inaugural NHL game on Oct. 8. They will celebrate at their home-opener on Oct. 10. ' ' '
