Once again the Athletics filled the ninth inning with tension. With the Rangers having the game-tying run on second base with two-out in the top of the inning, the A’s knew they absolutely had to stop their three-game skid. Prior to that, the game had been relatively quiet despite it being Stomper’s 21st birthday and also having Bartolo Colon on the mound for the Texas Rangers - oh, and that guy Andrew Triggs was pitching for the A’s.

Triggs put forth a nice outing Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
