ARLINGTON, Texas -- Second baseman Rougned Odor's walk-off single through a drawn-in infield with the bases loaded scored Shin-Soo Choo and gave the Texas Rangers an 8-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night in 10 innings.

Choo, the right fielder who entered with a .107 average, had two hits, including a double to lead off the 10th and a three-run homer in the seventh that brought the Rangers back from a four-run deficit.

First baseman Kyle Blanks matched a career high with four hits and four RBIs, including a solo home run in the sixth for the Rangers (8-15), whose struggling offense entered the game with a major-league low .213 average but showed some life for a second straight game.

The Rangers had 14 of the game's 26 hits.

Texas right-handed reliever Keone Kela (1-1) posted is first major-league victory, pitching a scoreless 10th. Oakland right-hander Ryan Cook (0-2) suffered the loss.

After giving up a double to Choo, Cook walked the next two batters he faced to load the bases for Odor with no outs.

Oakland right fielder Josh Reddick was 3-for-4 with four RBIs, including a three-run homer in the Athletics' four-run seventh inning.

Texas overcame a four-run deficit in the seventh with four runs in its half of the inning, three on Choo's home run to right.

Neither starting pitcher factored into the decision.

Oakland right-hander Drew Pomeranz gave up three runs three runs and eight hits and four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Texas right-hander Nick Martinez gave up five runs and seven hits, though only two of the runs were earned. He struck out two and hit two batters. Martinez, who entered the game having given up only one earned run in 26 innings this season, saw his ERA rise to 0.84.

He was going along fine until the seventh, when things went haywire.

Oakland sent nine hitters to the plate in an inning that featured only three hits -- one by Rule 10.05 A5 on a ball that hit second base umpire Jerry Meals -- two errors and a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded that gave catcher Josh Phegley an RBI the hard way.

The uprising was capped by Reddick's three-run blast to right.

The Rangers, though, clawed back in the their half of the inning, using Blanks' third RBI and Choo's three-run homer to tie the score, all with two outs.

Martinez escaped the first by giving up only one run after A's center fielder Billy Burns and shortstop Marcus Semien opened the game with a single and double.

The Rangers erased their deficit with a run built off three consecutive two-out hits, the last Blanks' run-scoring double that scored first baseman Prince Fielder.

Beltre's second base hit of the game scored Elvis Andrus with two outs in the third and put Texas up 2-1 with Martinez now having found a groove.

After grinding through the first inning and giving up a leadoff single in the second, Martinez retired his next nine hitters before a one-out jam in the fifth. Martinez hit left fielder Mark Canha and yielded a base hit to Phegley.

Martinez, though, induced a 4-6-3 double play ground ball out of second baseman Eric Sogard to end the threat.
