A’s win big in Texas, 9-2

These A’s just keep swinging it.

One of the leagues hottest second-half offenses added another four home runs en-route to a dominant 9-2 victory over the Texas Rangers tonight to take the first game of three in Arlington. JP Sears was also stellar for seven innings to seal off a complete team win.

The A’s hit four home runs yesterday and 11 total over their three-game set in Cincinnati, so it’s no surprise that the long ball got things started again tonight. Brent Rooker smashed a home run just two batters into the game to give the A’s a quick 1-0 advantage.
