OAKLAND, Calif. -- Derek Norris figures the only difference between starting and coming off the bench is the need to bear down a little quicker when hes asked to pinch-hit. Norris delivered a pinch-hit homer and drove in five runs, Stephen Vogt went 3 for 3 with two RBIs and the Oakland Athletics roughed up Yu Darvish again in beating the Texas Rangers 10-6 Tuesday night. "He has a knack," As manager Bob Melvin said about Norris. "Hes ready for the situation." Norris, a career .500 hitter against the Rangers, is 4 for 11 with five RBIs as a pinch-hitter. "I dont know what that means," he said. "I mean, I like starting, too." Six of the catchers eight home runs this year have come with at least two runners on base. "Five RBIs off the bench; thats something special," Norris said. "Ultimately, the credit goes to the team for getting on base. I dont get any more or less aggressive whether someone is on or no one is on. I just try to put the barrel of the bat on the ball." Tommy Milone (5-3) won his fifth consecutive decision, matching his career best, as the As won their third in four games. Milone gave up three runs and five hits over 5 2-3 innings, improving to 5-0 in his last eight starts. He walked one and struck out three. "Every game I just try to stay within myself and not do too much," Milone said. "Im trying to get those guys out and so far its been working. When were scoring runs, pitchers in general just attack the zone and throw strikes." Darvish (7-3) dropped his eighth straight to the As, and the Rangers lost for the second time in six games. "For some reason, they have really good numbers against me," Darvish said through a translator. "I just have to prepare myself for the next start." Darvish allowed seven runs -- four earned -- and eight hits over five-plus innings. He walked five and struck out eight, including Brandon Moss in the first for career strikeout No. 600. "He was out there searching, which he always does," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Usually he finds something, but tonight he just didnt find it. He just couldnt find anything to get them out with." Roughned Odor homered, tripled and drove in three runs for the Rangers. Aaron Poreda, recalled from Triple-A Round Rock earlier in the day, took over for Darvish with two runners on in the sixth and got two outs before giving way to Shawn Tolleson, who gave up Norris home run. Adrian Beltre gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the first with his two-out RBI single. The As scored twice in the second. Jed Lowrie, Vogt and Alberto Callaspo hit consecutive singles to open the inning. Lowrie scored on Callaspos hit, and Vogt came around to score on right fielder Alex Rios throwing error. Vogt added RBI singles in the third and fifth. Coco Crisp hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth, and Norris hit a three-run shot, his fourth career pinch-hit homer, in the sixth. "It seems like all the catchers are producing, even when they are all in the lineup," Milone said. "Its a lot of fun right now." Odour hit a solo homer in the fifth and added a two-run triple in the seventh. Rios hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Daniel Robertson drove in a run in the seventh. Norris added a two-run double in the eighth. NOTES: Robbie Ross was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Poreda. ... The Rangers signed veteran 1B Carlos Pena to a minor league deal. ...

Arsene Wengers side are third in the Premier League table, three points behind their North London rivals Tottenham with two games left of the season.Spurs kick off at 1:30pm against Southampton on Super Sunday, and should they lose, Arsenal would go equal on points with them if they beat fourth-placed Manchester City in the 4pm match. Bellerin, who was the only Arsenal player to be a part of the PFA Team of the Year, feels that although third is the realistic target for the rest of the season, second is by no means out of the question. Pick your team Aguero? Ozil? De Bruyne? Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side team for the chance to win ￡10,000 For us, its important to finish third, or even second, he exclusively told Sky Sports.Obviously, as a team we want to finish as high as we can, and in a good moment to be ready for next season. Weve got to start with these three points at the Etihad and the team is really focused on that. Bellerin feels it would make for a better end to the season if Arsenal can finish above Tottenham in the league The Spain international admits that finishing the season above Spuurs in the table would be satisfying for the players and the fans if they can achieve it.ddddddddddddAs an Arsenal player, there is always that motivation [to beat Tottenham], he said.Its something the fans would probably be looking forward to. As players, we need to fight for it as well.It doesnt only depend on us of course. We know they have their games to play and have to win them as well so well do our end of the job and were going to hope for the best. Bellerin does not feel Arsene Wenger deserves the criticism he has received this season Bellerin, who has made 34 Premier League appearances during the 2015/16 campaign, also feels manager Arsene Wenger does not deserve the criticism that he gets despite a disappointing season where Arsenal cannot win a trophy.He explained: Every single manager can have a good season or a bad one but at the end of the day its us the players who have to get on with the job.You cannot blame one person or 11, you just need to look at the club or the people to see whats missing, and once you get the right answer, you need to perform on the pitch.You can see the interview in full on Super Sunday - Manchester City v Arsenal - from 3.30pm on Sky Sports 1.
