The only thing stopping the Texas Rangers now is the All-Star break.Matt Harrison pitched six-hit ball into the eighth inning, Adrian Beltre Replica Football Shirt Supplier homered in his third consecutive game and the Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-best seven games with a 2-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. “I think we finally got the type of baseball moving in the direction we’re capable of playing,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “Now we know what we have to do and how we have to do it, just have to go out there and get a little break and continue to play good baseball. The biggest compliment I can give to them is that I love watching them play.”

Harrison (7-7) struck out seven and walked one in 7 2-3 innings to prevail in a pitchers’ duel over Trevor Cahill .Neftali National Football Shirts Feliz completed the shutout by working a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 22 chances.”I was able to keep them off balance, moving the ball in and out,” Harrison said. “I gave us a chance to win today. I knew it was going to be tough pitching against Cahill. He’s a great pitcher and he made one mistake today and that’s all we needed to win the ballgame.” After Josh Hamilton drew a two-out walk in the sixth, Beltre lifted a 1-0 pitch from Cahill (8-7) into the seats in left-center for Beltre’s 19th of the season. AL West-leading Texas opened the season with six consecutive wins, then topped that streak with a four-game sweep of Oakland.The Rangers have won seven consecutive games heading into the break for the first time in franchise history.A game played in 98-degree heat wrapped up an emotional weekend for both teams following the death Thursday of a fan who reached for a ball tossed into the stands by Hamilton.
