ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning and the Cincinnati Reds snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-4 victory over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
Mesoraco was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts before his 380-foot homer into the left-field seats off Kyle McClellan (0-1), which came right after Todd Frazier was hit by a pitch to start the 11th.
Cincinnati had lost six of seven and was coming off consecutive shutout losses before Shin-Soo Choo homered on the first pitch of the game.
J.J. Hoover (1-5) got the last two outs in the 10th, even after a walk and a hit. Aroldis Chapman worked the 11th for his 20th save in 23 chances.
The Reds had also lost five straight interleague games.

Charlie Wilson had one excited background singer and dancer supporting him: Justin Timberlake.
The pop star took a backseat to the soul singer at Sunday's BET Awards, joining Wilson onstage for an energetic medley of his solo and Gap Band hits.
Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg and India.Arie were also part of the tribute to 60-year-old Wilson, who earned the lifetime achievement award.
"Charlie Wilson is soul music. His impact colors the work of many artists, which is basically my nice way of saying I and a lot of other artists have stolen from him," Timberlake said when presenting Wilson the award.
Wilson's lively stage presence was the arguably the night's top moment, though others were on fire.
Nicki Minaj picked up her fourth consecutive win for best female hip-hop artist.
"Every time I win it's a humbling experience," she said. "My fans are amazing people."
Minaj performed with Chris Brown, who opened the awards show with a medley of new songs. BET couldn't bleep some of the rapper's expletives ? much like the awards show last year. Expletives from Wayne Brady, Erykah Badu and the singers who performed with R. Kelly slipped, too.
Mariah Carey was angelic as she belted her latest hit, "#Beautiful," with help from Miguel and Young Jeezy, and an excited R. Kelly sang snippets of a dozen of his hits. An energetic Robin Thicke was joined by Pharrell and T.I. when he sang his international No. 1 hit, "Blurred Lines."
Host Chris Tucker sang and danced too ? in tribute to Michael Jackson.
Miguel won the night's first award, best male R&B pop artist, beating out Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.
"I got to really give it up to all the other guys in this category," said the singer, who performed for third time Sunday when he joined J. Cole onstage.
Don Cheadle presented Miguel with the award, and dedicated the night to the ailing Nelson Mandela.
"We want to take a moment and send our prayers and thoughts to a man who literally changed the world," he said. "This evening we would like to offer prayers and support and hope to the extraordinary Nelson Mandela and his family."
Jamie Foxx, wearing a shirt that featured a picture of Trayvon Martin, won best actor, and Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas won sportswoman of the year and the youngstars award.
Kendrick Lamar, who performed with Badu, won best new artist and best male hip-hop artist.
"Most importantly to my little home boys and my home girls back in the city, you looking at me on TV right now, I came up in that same county building, food stamps, welfare section eight ... this is living proof that you can do anything you put your mind to," said Lamar, who is from Compton.
He, along with 2 Chainz, are the second most nominated acts behind Drake, who is up for 12 honors, including five nominations for video of the year, which has 10 nominees.
His own hits ? "Started from the Bottom" and "HYFR" ? are up for the top prize, as well as his guest appearances on 2 Chainz's "No Lie," A$AP Rocky's "(Expletive) Problems" and Lamar's "Poetic Justice." Other video of the year nominees are Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," Rihanna's "Diamonds," ''Adorn" by Miguel, Kanye West's "Mercy" and "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Timberlake, Drake, Lamar, Rocky, Miguel and Rihanna will compete for the fan-voted viewer's choice award. Dwyane Wade, who recently won the NBA Finals with the Miami Heat, will receive the humanitarian award.

The fashions of the 1990s weren't always the most flattering, but Jennifer Aniston has always looked good in everything, right? Likewise, what teenage girl circa 1991 didn't wish she was BFFs with Tiffani Thiessen (aka: Kelly Kapowski) from Saved By The Bell, scrunchies and all? And let’s face it, with artists like Whitney Houston blowing up the charts, who didn’t want to party like it was 1999?

ATLANTA (AP) ? The president of the fast-food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A has once again injected himself into the gay marriage debate, this time criticizing Supreme Court rulings.
Dan Cathy posted a comment Wednesday on Twitter criticizing a pair of U.S. Supreme Court rulings. Those decisions will extend federal recognition to same-sex marriages in the states where they are legal, and will add California ? the most populous state ? to the 12 others in that category.
"Sad day for our nation," Cathy wrote. He added that the country's founders would be "ashamed" of the modern generation.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the post was later deleted. Chick-fil-A officials issued a statement acknowledging the post, saying Cathy was offering a personal comment.
Cathy previously sparked controversy by speaking against gay marriage, prompting protests and condemnations by politicians.

A POPULAR BUMPER sticker reminds elected officials, ?I Hunt, I Fish, I Vote.?
And by participating in those first two activities I also make a significant economic contribution to the Old Dominion and the nation.
In the foreword to the recently released 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe touts a ?significant resurgence in the number of people embracing America?s Great Outdoors.?
He points out that nearly 38 percent of Americans participated in wildlife-related recreation, up 2.6 million from the 2006 survey. Hunting participation nationwide increased by 9 percent. Fishing participation grew by 11 percent. Americans spent $145 billion satisfying their outdoor pursuits, or as Ashe observed, about 1 percent of the nation?s gross domestic product.?
That number really doesn?t color in the whole economic picture, though, since money moving through an economy generates a ripple that multiplies the impact double or even triple beyond the initial expenditures for such things as gear, licenses or trips.
The 2011 survey was the twelfth in a series that began in 1955.
Preliminary numbers were released a few months ago, but the detailed breakdown of participation and expenditures by state was just revealed.
Overall, the 2011 survey found that 3.3 million Virginia residents and nonresidents 16 years old and older fished, hunted, or wildlife watched in Virginia. These individuals spent $3.5 billion on wildlife recreation in Virginia. Of that total, trip-related expenditures were $1.1 billion and equipment expenditures totaled $1.7 billion. The remaining $758 million was spent on licenses, contributions,?land ownership and leasing, and other items.
Virginia?s adult (age 16 and older) hunter numbers increased from 2001 to 2011 by 22 percent to 432,000, but contrary to the national trend, adult angler numbers fell by 18 percent to 833,000. Nearly 200,000 people reported both hunting and fishing.
The study also calculated the number of hunters and anglers age 6 to 15, estimating Virginia had 50,000
resident young hunters and 141,000 resident young anglers.
Resident adult hunters numbered 326,000, meaning a remarkable 25 percent of Virginia?s adult hunters are nonresidents. Resident anglers numbered 707,000.
John M.R. Bull, director of public relations for the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, said the decrease in people fishing the Commonwealth?s saltwater was not unexpected.
?The economy has been tough for the past few years,? Bull said. ?Gas prices have almost doubled. Fishing can be an expensive pastime when you include the cost of boat maintenance, gasoline, equipment and bait.
?It?s understandable if cash-strapped families cut back on recreational activities that may cost some money.
It?s a shame. The fishing in Virginia is excellent.? Bull continued. ?We work hard to create and maintain sustainable fisheries and to conserve the fisheries habitat so that anglers have good chances of landing some fish. That?s what our conservation efforts are all about.?
Virginia?s anglers averaged 13 fishing days and $1,237 in expenses for the year, while hunters averaged 23 days and $2,000.
All fishing-related expenditures in Virginia totaled $1.1 billion in 2011, with $379 million spent on equipment and $469 million spent on trip-related expenditures. All hunting-related expenditures in Virginia totaled $877 million, including $286 million on equipment and $297 million on trip expenses.
Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries? Outreach Director Lee Walker shared much the same viewpoint as Bull, citing a struggling economy, rising fuels costs and multiple years of ?less than desirable weather conditions? as possible factors impacting hunting and fishing license sales and wildlife watching with Virginia residents.
?On the positive side, Virginia seems to remain a popular destination for out-of-state travelers helping to offset the relatively small declined from in-state license buyers,? Walker said.
Beyond the direct revenues state agencies receive from license sales, millions more in revenue comes from excise taxes on the sale of outdoors equipment. The Fish and Wildlife Service apportions funds back to the states. Incredibly high sales of firearms and ammunition in recent years have resulted in near windfall revenues from these programs.
The National Shooting Sports Association sponsored a survey of consumers age 22 to 65 who bought their first firearms in 2012 to help assess motivations for the firearm purchase and how these firearms were being used.
The top-ranking factors that triggered these first-time gun purchases were home defense (87.3 percent), self-defense (76.5 percent) and the desire to share shooting activities with family and friends (73.2 percent).
Women reported a focus on personal defense and self-sufficiency, while older first-time buyers (age 55 to 65) indicated concern that firearms may no longer be available to them.
Eighty-four percent of new gun owners report target shooting as their favored activity followed by hunting (37.7 percent) and plinking (27.4 percent). Practical pistol shooting (17.3 percent) and clay-target shooting (14.6 percent) are sports also enjoyed by first-time buyers.
Local gun shops made 43.6 percent of the sales while mass retailers such as Walmart and Cabela?s accounted for 33.6 percent.

Building on its previous efforts in the HUD (Heads up Display) market, Recon Instruments announced today that its latest Recon Jet HUD will be available for $499. These Android-powered glasses are targeted directly at cyclists and triathletes, providing extremely useful information just a glance away. You can think of the Recon Jet as a distant cousin of Google Glass, targeted at a sports-minded wearer to show information such as heart rate, cadence and power output through a suite of on-board sensors. Athletes will be able to track their speed, pace, distance, time and ascent/descent throughout a race or training session.
Just as is the case with Google Glass, the Recon Jet pairs with a phone over Bluetooth for connectivity and can display caller ID and text messages as well as upload details of their current activities to social networks. The Jet has a 1GHz dual-core processor, dedicated graphics chip, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and a camera on the front along with the aforementioned sensors. Recon notes that the components of the glasses are evenly distributed to both sides, adding just 14 grams in weight to each side of the sunglasses.
While the Recon Jet is focused on a core set of features for serious athletes, the company is making an SDK available for developers to write apps for the platform. Recon says it is already in talks with major health and fitness companies to make new native apps for the device.
In its current form, the Recon Jet is offered in an early "Pilot Edition" for $499 from now until July 21st. This Pilot Edition is for willing early adopters to give a try several months before full production begins. After the July 21st cutoff the pre-sale price will jump to $599. Hang around after the break to see a few more pictures showing off the Recon Jet and HUD interface.
