Pinch hitter Jordan Diaz made his first major league home run a memorable one, belting a tiebreaking solo shot with one out in the ninth inning to give the Oakland Athletics a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday in Arlington, Texas.
Tony Kemp added a solo homer for Oakland, which snapped a seven-game losing streak. Zach Jackson pitched a scoreless inning for the win, and Jeurys Familia worked around a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth for his first save.
Jose Leclerc retired leadoff hitter Esteury Ruiz in the ninth before Texas manager Bruce Bochy called on Will Smith to face Diaz, who deposited a 1-2 slider over the left field fence. Texas jumped to an early lead with four runs in the first inning against Oakland starter JP Sears. After Adolis Garcia singled home a run with one out, Josh Jung struck out before Heim delivered his blast to left-center.
Oakland pushed a run across in the fourth inning against Jon Gray when Brent Rooker drew a one-out walk, moved to third on Jace Peterson's single and scored on a fielder's-choice grounder by Aledmys Diaz.
