Beltre, whose 35th homer tied the score in the seventh, grounded a sharp single through the middle of the infield off Tyson Ross (2-11) in the ninth, bringing home pinch-run- ner Craig Gentry to end the opener of a four-game series. The Rangers got the inning started with consec- utive singles by Mitch Moreland and Ian Kinsler before Elvis Andrus' sac- rifice bunt. Josh Hamilton, who had already hit his major league-best 43rd homer after missing the previous five games with a cornea issue, was inten- tionally walked to load the bases for Beltre. Joe Nathan (3-4), the sixth Rangers pitcher, struck out two in the ninth. That included a strikeout of Seth Smith as Stephen Drew was caught stealing to end the inning. It was the first of seven meetings in the last 10 days of the regular season between the two-time defending American League champion Rangers and A's, who have lost six of seven after winning 17 of their previ- ous 21 games.

(AP) — Last year, Jim Harbaugh got to know San Francisco safety Donte Whitner well dur- ing a week in Ohio in the middle of the season. And so many others, too. Perhaps a little bit of bonding time together across the country will be good for Harbaugh's 49ers right now after a mistake-filled 24-13 loss Sunday at Minnesota.

Wide receiver Dar- The Lady Bulldogs knocked off Oakland has a two- game lead over the idle Los Angeles Angels for the second AL wild card. Beltre hit a two-run homer with two outs in the seventh to tie the game at 4, a shot that came with Hamilton on base. A's rookie right-hander Dan Straily struck out eight and left with a 4-2 lead after 6 2-3 innings with Hamilton due to bat and the bases empty. Dean Blevins walked Hamilton, the only batter he faced, before Pat Neshek gave up the two- run drive to Beltre. It was Neshek who allowed Raul Ibanez's tying, two-run homer to cap a four-run 13th inning Saturday by the AL East- leading New York Yan- kees, who then won on a two-out error in the 14th — a game that Ross also lost. The 49ers (2-1) are practicing this week at Youngstown State to avoid a return trip to the West Coast before facing the New York Jets on Sunday. It's another des- tination training camp of sorts — just like last sea- son. It even came at the same time in late Sep- tember, with the 49ers then atop the NFC West at 2-1.
