After a thrilling walk-off victory last night against Texas, the Oakland Athletics played their final night game at the Coliseum tonight against the American League West rival Rangers. Game two of the series featured a pair of 26-year-old lefties; Brady Basso for the A’s and Cody Bradford for the Rangers.
The Rangers jumped out to a lead quickly, in fact before even the first out was recorded. Marcus Semien singled to lead off the game and Wyatt Langford homered to give the defending World Champions a 2-0 lead. Jonah Heim walked and Aroldis Garcia and Nathaniel Lowe each singled to drive in another.
