Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Hideki Matsui hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Oakland Athletics to a 5-4 win over Texas in the finale of a four-game set at the Coliseum.

Matsui finished with two runs batted in and Josh Willingham went 2-for-4 with a solo shot for the Athletics, who won three games in the series. Kurt Suzuki added a solo homer.

Starter Brandon McCarthy worked six innings, allowing four unearned runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts. He also committed two errors in taking a no-decision.

Michael Young had a two-run double and knocked in three for Texas, which has dropped six of eight.

Derek Holland got the starting nod for the Rangers and yielded three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits over seven innings. The left-hander walked a pair and fanned four.

With Oakland trailing, 4-3, Willingham led off the eighth with a solo homer to left off Arthur Rhodes that evened the game.

Texas went quietly in the top of the ninth and the Athletics had a threat turned aside in the home half, forcing the game into extra innings.

Grant Balfour (2-1) stranded the bases loaded when he struck out pinch-hitter Yorvit Torrealba in the top of the 10th and Matsui hammered a first-pitch fastball by Darren Oliver (1-3) over the wall in right in the bottom half that ended the game.

Cliff Pennington's run-scoring bunt single in the second gave the A's an early lead.

Young's two-run double to left in the third put the Rangers in front, but Suzuki tied it at 2-2 with a solo homer just inside the left-field foul pole in the fourth.

The back-and-forth battled continued in the fifth when Texas answered with a pair to go back in front. With the bases loaded and nobody out, consecutive sacrifice flies by Young and Adrian Beltre made it a 4-2 game.

The Athletics got a run back in the home fifth on Matsui's RBI groundout.
