Gentry's pinch-hit, 3-run triple defeats A's
Craig Gentry - OF - Texas Rangers
June 30, 2012 - 1:15 AM ET

Craig Gentry provided a huge lift to the Rangers offense on Friday, delivering a pinch-hit, three-run triple in the eighth inning, leading the Rangers to a 4-3 win over the Athletics.

He's been losing out on playing time recently with David Murphy and Leonys Martin playing so well, but he still fills a valuable role on the Rangers bench. He's now hitting .356 with 18 RBI and nine stolen bases in just 118 at-bats on the year.
