ARLINGTON, Texas -- Adrian Beltres decisive grand slam came shortly after the Texas Rangers ended a 24-inning scoreless streak -- and three batters after Shin-Soo Choo was possibly lost for the season with a fractured left forearm when he was hit by a pitch.The news on Choo, who is headed to the disabled list for the fourth time this season, dampened a 5-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night following consecutive shutout losses at home to Detroit.Hes such a key part of this ballclub, this organization, manager Jeff Banister said of his right fielder, who started this game as the designated hitter in his regular leadoff spot. You feel terrible for him personally and obviously its a gut punch but one that were going to be challenged with.Martin Perez pitched seven strong innings for his first win since late June.Beltres 100th home run at Globe Life Park, which went about a dozen rows above the 14-foot wall in left field, came against former teammate Ross Detwiler (1-1) in the fifth inning with Texas trailing 2-1.Following the pitch from Detwiler that hit Choo, Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran singled to set up the 10th career slam for Beltre.Choo checked his swing as the ball hit an area near his left wrist, and he immediately dropped to one knee. He left after spending several minutes talking to an athletic trainer and was replaced by Nomar Mazara.The 34-year-old Choo has been limited to 45 games by calf and hamstring strains and lower back inflammation. Team spokesman John Blake said the injury was similar to one sustained in April by catcher Robinson Chirinos, who missed two months.Somebody you played with last year, somebody thats your friend, you hate for that pitch to get away from you, said Detwiler, who opened 2015 in the Texas rotation but was let go after starting 0-5. Its not a good sign when you get pulled out of the game.The AL West-leading Rangers -- the first AL team to 70 wins -- were an out shy of 25 straight scoreless innings when Elvis Andrus lined a single to right in the fourth.Perez (8-8) gave up five hits and two runs -- one earned -- with six strikeouts in seven innings. He had gone 0-4 over eight starts since a 6-2 win against Boston on June 26.The left-hander set a Texas record with his 32nd groundball double play, an inning-ender by Brett Eibner in the fourth. C.J. Wilson had the previous mark of 31 in 2011. Perez got another one to end the sixth.Matt Bush struck out two in a perfect eighth, and Sam Dyson got another double play in the ninth for his 27th save.Coming off eight shutout innings in a 1-0 win over Baltimore in his first big league start this season, Detwiler held the Rangers scoreless for three innings but didnt make it out of the fifth. He gave up seven hits and five runs in 4 2/3 innings.Ryon Healy led off the second with his sixth homer to give Oakland a 2-0 lead.REPLACING CHOOThe Rangers will recall outfielder Ryan Rua from Triple-A Round Rock to take Choos spot on the roster. Mazara, a rookie who emerged the first time Choo got hurt this season, will see time in right. The leadoff spot was mostly a mix of Jurickson Profar and Delino DeShields during Choos third DL stint with the back injury.BELTRES BLASTThe homer was Beltres 19th of the season and gave him 432 for his career, breaking a tie with Cal Ripken on the career list. It was Beltres first slam since April 2, 2011, his second game with the Rangers. John Lackey was pitching for Boston, Beltres team the previous year.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Andrew Triggs (0-1, 5.50 ERA) is in his eighth stint with Oakland this season. He has two starts among his first 20 appearances, including a 9-6 loss to Baltimore last week.Rangers: RHP Lucas Harrell (3-2, 4.20 AL/NL) is scheduled for his fourth start with Texas while facing the prospect of being replaced in the rotation by Derek Holland, who is eligible to return from the 60-day disabled list Saturday following a bout with left shoulder inflammation.

NASSAU, Bahamas -- A flop shot that required feel. A wedge to a back pin that he had to trust. Tiger Woods followed those two birdies with a perfect 6-iron that he wanted to be even better, urging it to move one yard ... one yard!The golf ball didnt listen. Television viewers did.And his three straight birdies after going 466 days without competition sure got everyones attention, even those who were playing.When I saw that he was 4 under through eight, I wanted to withdraw so I could go watch him, Russell Knox said.Was he back to being Tiger Woods?Of course not.This was only the front nine of the first round at the Hero World Challenge. By the end of the week, Woods was 15th out of 17 players . What returned was the excitement of having him inside the ropes again.Everybody loves the comeback story, Matt Kuchar said. A guy like Tiger, good or bad, draws attention. If its good, it gets really exciting.So hes back. And now hes gone again.Still to be determined is when he will play and how much. There has been chatter, and nothing more at this stage, of Woods playing in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship the third week in January. HSBC already has Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson, not to mention Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson, and might not want to break the bank. But a happy and healthy week for Woods in the Bahamas -- not to mention his 24 birdies -- certainly raised interest.Torrey Pines is a week later and a more likely start.Woods said in his heart of hearts he wants to play a full schedule. It will a different one, at least early.Riviera is back on the schedule because his foundation runs it. The Valspar Championship at Innisbrook is in play because its a week after one World Golf Championship and two weeks before another -- both in the month leading to the Masters. Woods isnt eligible for either WGC event and wont be unless he wins before then.That leads to the more critical question.When will it be time to stop marveling at seeing the red shirt and start judging him by red numbers on the scoreboard?Woods doesnt like any victory that doesnt come with a trophy, so he was quick to point out silly mistakes and six double bogeys whenever he caught himsellf getting too excited talking about his good golf.ddddddddddddBut he had reason to smile. Only the winner, Hideki Matsuyama, had as many sub-par holes. Woods shot 65 in the second round with no bogeys, not a tall order at Albany except that it was his first tournament in 15 months.This was a good week for him.His swing showed very little stress. It was graceful, not violent. Woods knows he isnt among the top power players anymore, though he showed ample length off the tee, even finding an extra gear on occasion. He said before the tournament he had all the shots, and there was little evidence to suggest otherwise.He just didnt score very well. But only those wanting to see him fail cared about that after such a long layoff.That will change over time. Theres just no consensus on when.Give him three or four tournaments, maybe six tournaments, maybe around the Masters, Henrik Stenson said. Probably give him a number of tournaments and he might be in contention in one of the early ones next year. Then you know you have the answer quicker. Its easy to overanalyze a very limited amount of golf.Kuchar said he has low expectations of Woods in the Bahamas, and was impressed to see him start 73-65-70.I still dont hold him to any standard just yet, he said. Hes kind of a new man. Great to see. Shoot, he gets back in the hunt and wins a tournament, youd have to put those expectations right back on him. For having nearly two years off, its hard to hold a guy to his typical expectation level.Brandt Snedeker was curious to see how much progress Woods makes in his next tournament. Others, like Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson, had a longer view when it came to measuring Woods by his scores.To me, its if we can chat next year at this point, Johnson said. Its not so much the golf game and the golf swing and the putts being holed and contention. Its physically. Can he withstand a Tiger year, which is what, 15 to 20 events?Curiosity has given way to anticipation. Doubts have been replaced by optimism.Reality is still months away, if not longer.had a longer view when it came to measuring ' ' '
