The Oakland Athletics unbeaten streak at Hohokam Stadium came to an end in a crushing 10-3 loss to the Texas Rangers. Oakland took a pounding on Tuesday against the Rangers in their sixth preseason game this spring. Even though the A’s were able to get nine hits, they were not able to score. Unlike Oakland, the Rangers scored their 10 runs on 15 hits.
Highlights
The Rangers got on the board early in the third inning and stay in the lead throughout the entire game. The Athletics came close to tying the game in the third when Billy Burns scored due to a fielding error on a hit by Coco Crisp to deep right field and Jed Lowrie then drove in Crisp on a single to make it 3-2 Rangers.
