OAKLAND, Calif. -- Ron Washington shook his head, a bemused look on his face. He had a towel draped over his shoulders and was still wet from the beer shower provided by his players. Derek Holland gave up four hits in eight stellar innings, Nelson Cruz and Mitch Moreland each hit a home run and Washington became the winningest manager in Rangers history as Texas beat the Oakland Athletics 4-0 on Sunday. "Im not a fan of the cold stuff," Washington said. "I had to stand there and endure it. Any success you have in life, there are others who helped get you there." Washington, who coached for Oakland for 11 years, passed Bobby Valentine with his 582nd win. "Yes it means a lot to me," he said. "I came here as a novice and in seven years won the most games in Rangers history. This organization gave me the chance and the players kept winning ballgames." Adrian Beltre had two hits and drove in a run for the Rangers, who have won six of seven to move within 2 1-2 games of the AL West Division leading Athletics. "Its a pretty cool accomplishment and hes going to get a lot more," Rangers infielder Ian Kinsler said. "Hes grow up with this organization and established a winning environment." Nate Freiman had two hits for the As, who have lost four of five. Holland (9-6) walked two and matched his season high with 10 strikeouts as he ended a personal two-game losing streak. "Weve had a strong relationship," Holland said of Washington. "He even comes out to the mound instead of (Mark) Maddux. Hes a great guy for me. I love playing for him." A.J. Griffin (10-8) lasted 6 2-3 innings, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on five hits. He walked one and struck out seven. Griffin has allowed a major-league leading 28 home runs this season and became the first Oakland pitcher to give up two or more in four consecutive starts since Mark Redman did it in 2007. "Thats the best Ive seen Holland pitch in quite a while," As manager Bob Melvin said. "The inside zone was there for him, which made the changeup really tough to deal with." Holland, who has an 0.81 ERA in his nine wins, beat the As for the fifth straight time. He also improved to 7-1 in 12 road starts. "Oakland is in first place for a reason," Holland said. "Were gaining ground on them for a reason too." Joe Nathan walked Josh Donaldson and allowed an infield single to Yoenis Cespedes to open the ninth. He got pinch hitter Brandon Moss to ground into a force out and got Alberto Callapso to hit into a game-ending double play. The Rangers took advantage of a two-out fielding error by Cespedes in the first inning to take the early lead. Kinsler reached second on the play and scored when Beltre singled. Cruz led off the second inning with his 27th homer of the year and Moreland hit a two-run shot in the seventh. "Its pretty frustrating," Griffin said of Morelands home run. "To pitch well for 6 2-3 innings and to have that happen, its frustrating." Meanwhile, Holland did not allow a runner past second base. He retired 14 of 15 batters during one stretch.

LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night.Gold Coasts AFL season of woe has continued at Etihad Stadium when Sean Lemmens was knocked out in the Suns 71-point loss to Collingwood.The visitors were comprehensively outclassed in a match between sides guaranteed of missing the finals, surrendering 16.22 (118) to 6.11 (47) on Saturday night.A crowd of just 17,644 turned out, making it the lowest attendance at a Collingwood home game in more than 25 years.Gold Coast youngster Lemmens was taken from the field on a stretcher following a second-quarter collision with Jesse White.Collingwood were also a man down during the second half after forward Darcy Moore appeared to tweak his troublesome hamstring.White finished with 3.4 for the Magpies, who dominated from the outset thanks to classy midfielders Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom and Adam Treloar.Treloar celebrated his 100th game with a match-high 38 possessions, six tackles, a goal and potentially three Brownlow votes.Jermey Howe, who clutched a career-best 18 marks including a trademark screamer, Brodie Grundy, Josh Smith and Jack Crisp were also influential for Collingwood.The ease at which the Magpies moved the ball - aided by a lack of pressure from the Suns - meant the shellacking often resembled a training drill.It was a throwback to the Suns first two seasons in the competition, when they could at least point to inexperience as a reason for regular routs.The result followed the expansion teams uppset loss to lowly Essendon at the same venue.ddddddddddddIts completely unacceptable.
