ARLINGTON, Texas — Brett Anderson looked to have the A’s on track to finish off a tough stretch of games on a high note but a meltdown by the bullpen spoiled that good feeling.
The A’s blew a five-run lead in Sunday’s 8-7 loss to the Texas Rangers, snapping a four-game win streak.
The Rangers slowly climbed back into the game with a run in the fifth and seventh. The A’s went to set up man Joakim Soria with a three-run lead in the eighth and the right-hander was only able to record one out as he was tagged for four runs in the inning.
