Rookie DJ Peters connected on a pair of two-run homers, Kolby Allard was solid in his first win in two months, and the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 7-4 on Sunday. Major league rookie home run leader Adolis García hit his 26th for the last-place Rangers, who took the deciding game of the series against the A's, who dropped into a tie for the AL wild card lead with Boston. Allard (3-10) allowed Matt Chapman's third homer in two games among seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, winning for the first time since throwing five scoreless innings at the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 12.
