Rookie Travis Buck hit his first career homer and drove in a career-high five runs to help the Oakland Athletics stretch their winning streak to four games with a 16-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
Buck added a three-run double and Bobby Crosby doubled in two more during an eight-run second inning.
Oakland had scored 26 runs in its previous eight games before breaking out with a season-high total against Texas.

Kameron Loe took a simple approach in his first major league start in nearly a year. It certainly worked -- enough to baffle the Oakland Athletics.
Loe combined with four relievers on a shutout as the Texas Rangers won 7-0 on Saturday night and snapped a three-game losing skid.
"I went as long and as hard as I could," Loe said. "I was focusing on getting strike one so I could get hitters in a defensive count."

Hank Blalock hit a two-run single and the Texas Rangers scored three runs in the eighth to rally past the Oakland Athletics 4-3 Sunday.
Eric Gagne got one out in the ninth for the Rangers before leaving with an apparent leg injury. He landed awkwardly after throwing a pitch to Mark Ellis. He eventually limped off the field and Akinori Otsuka came into the game.
Blalock's third hit of the game came on an 0-2 pitch from Oakland closer Huston Street with the bases loaded. It was Street's first blown save in five opportunities.
