A.J. Pierzynski homers in win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/17/13) Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski went deep in the second inning of Monday's win over the Athletics. Pierzynski's sixth homer of the season was a two-run shot that put the Rangers up 2-0 en route to an 8-7 win. 

Pierzynski went 2 for 3 with a walk. He added his eighth double and scored twice. He drove in three runs and is batting .305 with 20 RBI on the year. 

He has gone 4 for 7 in his last two contests to get back over .300. He'd gone 1 for 12 over a three-game stretch before his bat woke up Sunday against Toronto and continued to hit Monday.
