A’s fall to Rangers 5-0

The Oakland A’s lost today at the Coliseum, falling to the Texas Rangers by a final of 5-0 in the third game of the series.

Right-hander James Kaprielian got the start this afternoon after being called up just this morning. Texas got to him in the first inning thanks to old friend Marcus Semien, who came in for the game’s first run on an RBI single from Nathaniel Lowe. The second inning was better, thanks to an unbelievable play by third baseman Jace Peterson:

Semien hurt the A’s again in the top of the third when he brought in Texas’ second run on a sac fly, and then Lowe hurt Oakland again with a solo shot in the fourth to extend the Rangers’ lead.
