A's take very comfortable 9-1 lead
May 7, 2009 (Fort Worth Star-Telegram delivered by Newstex ) --

A scoreless tie was broken in the fourth when the first three Oakland A's reached against Brandon McCarthy and the fourth, Jack Cust, crushed a fastball for a grand slam and a 4-0 lead. The A's added another in the fourth, and after Chris Davis homered in the fifth, put up four more in the fifth.

McCarthy was hit for two of the runs in the fifth, and Kris Benson allowed two in his debut as a relief pitcher. The first batter he faced, Matt Holliday, took him deep for a three-run homer.

The Rangers' five-game winning streak is in serious jeopardy, but they will remain in first place. Second-place Seattle was beaten 3-1 at Kansas City.
