The A’s got back into the win column on Wednesday evening, beating the Texas Rangers 5-2 at Sutter Health Park on the day that the club welcomed star prospect Nick Kurtz to the squad. A nice way to welcome the new kid aboard and a day that him and hopefully the organization remember for a long, long time.
Over the first month of the season the Athletics have had a tough time at home. The team entered tonight just 2-8 in their new home ballpark. They have been consistently outscored in the early innings and put in a position to claw back right from the beginning of the games.
