MLB: Rangers win marred by tragedy

Texas Rangers' 6-0 win over the Oakland Athletics was overshadowed by a fan falling to his death while trying to catch a ball.

"We had a very tragic accident and one of our fans lost their life reaching over the rail trying to get a ball," team president Nolan Ryan said.
"As an organisation, and as our team members and our staff, we're very heavy-hearted about this, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
