The Oakland A’s were on their way to a comeback victory in the late innings Wednesday, but the Texas Rangers charged right back.
The A’s waited until the 7th inning to score and used that rally to take the lead, but the bullpen couldn’t hold on and Oakland fell 5-3 to the Rangers.
The game began with a pitcher’s duel between James Kaprielian and Mike Foltynewicz, as both starters breezed through four scoreless innings. But Kaprielian blinked and allowed runs in the 5th and 6th, and then Foltynewicz finally succumbed in the 7th and was charged with a pair of runs as well.
