Rangers, Athletics wrap up three-gamer series

Aug 8, 2007 - 1:34 PM Oakland (54-60) at Texas (49-64) 8:35 pm EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics meet in the rubber game of a three-game series Wednesday.

Recently acquired Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in the go-ahead run during a four-run sixth inning as Texas snapped a five-game losing streak with Tuesday's 8-6 win.

Kevin Millwood (7-9, 5.98 ERA) will try to keep things going for Texas. Last time out, the 32-year-old righthander surrendered three runs and eight hits in four innings at Toronto on Friday.

Millwood, who has won his previous four home starts, is 3-2 lifetime against Oakland.

Lenny DiNardo (5-6, 3.19) takes the mound for Oakland. The lefthander is unbeaten in his last four starts, going 2-0 during that span.

The 27-year-old DiNardo is 1-1 with an impressive 1.45 ERA in five lifetime games - two starts - against Texas.

Oakland's Mark Ellis has 15 homers on the season, one shy of tying the franchise record for a second baseman set by Jimmy Dykes (1921) and Davey Lopes (1983).
