Rangers Capitalize on A's Errors

Posted May 3, 08 1:09 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Milton Bradley had three hits with a double and run scored against his former team, and the Texas Rangers took advantage of four errors by the Oakland Athletics in a 4-3 victory last night for their first three-game winning streak of the season. Michael Young and Brandon Boggs each had sacrifice flies and Ian Kinsler added an RBI groundout for Texas.  

Vicente Padilla (4-2) won his second straight start, beating Oakland’s Joe Blanton (2-5) - sending their opening day starter to an 0-5 record at home this year - the most home losses by a pitcher in the majors. Blanton lost to the Rangers for the first time since his rookie season of 2005, snapping a six-game winning streak against them.
