Cheap UCLA Jerseys Free Shipping . -- If he had to choose one highlight play, Nelson Cruz preferred his run-saving, diving catch to his towering, three-run homer. Those contributions with the bat and glove played a huge part in the first-place Texas Rangers holding momentum in the AL West with a 6-2 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday for a winning series. Cruz connected for his 10th homer in the fifth, then chased down Brandon Moss line drive to the gap in right-centre for a defensive gem to end the sixth with Oakland runners on first and second. "I had four or five steps before I got to the ball, I thought I had a chance before I dived," Cruz said. "I think the catch in that situation was nice." Alexi Ogando thought so. He went on to earn his first career win against Oakland. Ogando (4-2) didnt allow a hit until Eric Sogards leadoff double in the sixth. The right-hander won his second straight decision and earned only his second victory in seven outings since consecutive wins starting the season. Cruz greeted reliever Jesse Chavez in the fifth with a first-pitch drive to left, highlighting the Rangers four-run inning. "Hey, Im an aggressive hitter," Cruz said, "Im not going to change my approach." Lance Berkman hit a two-run single and Adrian Beltre added an RBI single a day after hitting a 10th-inning home run. Elvis Andrus stole his ninth and 10th bases as the Rangers won their first series in Oakland since Sept. 20-22, 2011. Ogando was thrilled with Cruzs day -- especially that pretty catch. "Wow," the pitcher said. "It was an excellent play that helped so much. Its what we needed at that moment." Derek Norris hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth for Oaklands first run. Coco Crisp, fresh off the disabled list, added one of his own in the seventh. Last Oct. 3, Ogando entered in relief of the Rangers 12-5 loss in Game No. 162 and was tagged for four runs in the eighth inning as the As rallied to grab the AL West crown away from the Rangers. Now, with the AL West-leading Rangers on a nice roll in mid-May, Ogandos first road win in his last six outings gave Texas some momentum heading home for a key four-game series with the Tigers starting Thursday. The right-hander allowed two runs on four hits in six innings in his majors-leading seventh road start, his second ever against the As and first in the Coliseum. Cruzs home run gave the Rangers 14 in their last six games -- including three Tuesday night, two of them by Moreland. "Weve been playing real well all season long," Cruz said. "The offence has been getting clutch hits all year long, and the way Ogando threw was nice." The Rangers wrapped up a 6-3 trip, and these clubs meet again for three games beginning Monday in Arlington. Texas played its majors-high 25th road game, but begins a four-game series against AL champion Detroit on Thursday night. After losing the series opener 5-1, first-place Texas snapped a five-game losing streak in Oakland with a 6-5 win in 10 innings Tuesday night on the way to a third winning series in the last four. "We wanted to come here and play good baseball and were fortunate we did," manager Ron Washington said. The As loaded the bases with one out against Rangers reliever Michael Kirkman in the seventh, but got only Crisps sacrifice fly. Oakland starter Dan Straily (1-2) had his problems, too. He plunked Ian Kinsler and Andrus back to back to load the bases with two outs in the third, then Berkmans single up the middle gave the Rangers the lead. Straily avoided further damage in the fourth. After consecutive one-out walks to Mitch Moreland and David Murphy, and a wild pitch that advanced them both, Straily got a pair of flyball outs to escape unscathed. He walked four and struck out two in 4 1-3 innings of his second straight losing start and fourth consecutive winless outing. "Were not playing well right now and we have to power through this, win some games and get on a roll," manager Bob Melvin said. Crisp returned from a strained left hamstring and went 0 for 3 in his usual leadoff spot and playing centre field. NOTES: Rangers C Geovany Soto got a day off. ... As LHP Brett Anderson experienced further soreness in his sprained right ankle after going through pitchers fielding practice Tuesday. "Brett wont pitch tomorrow and maybe not in the foreseeable future here," Melvin said. "Were just not past the soreness that hes getting." ... After getting a break Wednesday, Oakland OF Chris Young (strained left quadriceps) is scheduled to play one more rehab outing Thursday with Triple-A Sacramento with the hope he will be activated from the DL on Friday ahead of a home weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. ... Melvin will spend Thursdays off day next door at Oracle Arena cheering on the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against San Antonio. ... Texas RHP Yu Darvish (6-1) faces Tigers ace Justin Verlander (4-3) in an anticipated matchup Thursday. The Rangers won seven of 10 vs. Detroit last year for their most victories in the season series since going 8-3 in 1998. "Im just looking forward to beating Verlander," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. ... Rangers RHP Justin Miller is scheduled to be sent on rehab assignment Friday. He is on the 60-day DL recovering from elbow ligament-replacement surgery.
