Rangers 7, Athletics 2
ARLINGTON, Texas — Colby Lewis pitched neatly into the eighth inning and slumping Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer for the Rangers. Lewis got 16 outs on fly balls and threw a season-high 115 pitches for Texas, which had lost seven of nine and 11 of 15. Beltre, who was given a night off Monday and had gone 4-for-31 over his previous nine games, connected in the fifth to chase starter Brett Anderson.
