Yohel Pozo homers in debut to lift Rangers over A's

Yohel Pozo belted a go-ahead, three-run homer in his big-league debut, and the Texas Rangers halted the visiting Oakland Athletics' seven-game winning streak with an 8-6 victory on Friday night in Arlington, Texas.

With two men on and Texas trailing 4-3 in the sixth, Pozo, who singled in his initial major league at-bat in the second, drove the first pitch thrown by Sergio Romo off the left field foul pole.
