OAKLAND, Calif. -- Khris Davis homered and drove in five runs, Marcus Semien and Jake Smolinski each had three hits and the Oakland Athletics pounded first-place Texas 14-5 on Monday night, hours after the Rangers put Yu Darvish on the disabled list.
The A's snapped a seven-game losing streak on Sunday, then beat a Texas team that had won eight of its previous 10 games.
Davis hit his 15th homer off Cesar Ramos (1-3) in the bottom of the fifth.
Ramos allowed eight runs in 3 2/3 innings.
