ARLINGTON -- The A's staged a comeback for the second time in as many days Friday. Only on this night, they completed it.
Their 7-5 victory over the Rangers to jumpstart a 10-game road trip was badly needed for a club that had dropped six of its last seven games. That it came in such spirited fashion only made it sweeter.
The A's were six outs away from being shut out before plating seven runs in the eighth inning -- their most in any frame this season -- against the Rangers' bullpen, after tallying just two hits through seven.
