Lucroy's walk-off single gives Rangers 7-6 win over A's (Yahoo Sports)

Jonathan Lucroy's two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning gave the Texas Rangers a 7-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. The Rangers reduced their magic number for clinching the AL West to seven. Pending the Mariners' late game against Houston, Texas needed a combination of seven wins or Seattle losses to guarantee first place.
