News: Oakland 2B Adam Kennedy homered twice, including a one-out tiebreaker in the ninth for the first run allowed by Texas reliever Frank Francisco this season, and the Athletics ended a four-game skid with a 5-4 victory over the AL West-leading Rangers on Sunday. With the game tied, Kennedy hit a 1-0 pitch off Francisco (1-1) into the right field seats, ending a streak of 28 appearances without allowing an earned run. Francisco had 17 2/3 scoreless innings in his first 17 appearances this season, the most in the majors without allowing a run. Kennedy also hit a solo homer in the first to give Oakland early momentum.
