The A’s dropped the finale of the three game series with the Rangers, 4-2 this afternoon.
The A’s 9 game homstand was marked by winning 2 of 3 from the Mariners, Astros and Rangers which all of us would take in a heartbeat, however in all three series, the A’s had the opporunity to sweep after winning the first two games and couldn’t close out the final game against all three division opponents.
E-Jax Gets Knocked Around
After going through the first two games without allowing a run to the Texas Rangers (18 innings, 0 runs on 5 hits), today’s game started off on the wrong foot for Edwin Jackson and the A’s as Shin-Soo Choo ambushed the first pitch of the game for a solo homer to left-center to make the score 1-0 after one delivery.
