Pinder was Texas' automatic runner to open the 12th and scored on Vimael Machin's sacrifice fly off Dennis Santana (3-4). Three more runs scored before Pinder came to bat with the bases loaded, and he hit the first pitch from Kolby Allard into the left-field seats to make it 14-6.

"We did our best to come back last night," Oakland's Sean Murphy said of a six-run A's rally that fell short in Monday's game. "We did it again tonight. Everybody contributed tonight. Everybody goes home feeling good."
