A shaky defense cost the A’s a couple runs in the first. A shaky bullpen cost the A’s several runs in the late innings. The two teams essentially switched roles from Friday night’s game, with the Rangers staging a late inning comeback against a team that had been ahead by five runs.
The A’s lost a winnable game that ends a mixed road trip with a sour taste. The A’s have a day off on Monday before trying to put the pieces back together against the Astros in a short series next week.
Best not to mull on this one too much.
