The A's had taken the lead in the top half of the fifth on a solo home run from center fielder Jake Smolinski, one of two solo homers Darvish allowed. Coco Crisp led off the game with his 11th home run of the season.
Manaea, who struck out a career-high nine batters the last time he faced the Rangers, wasn't as successful this time around. He allowed five runs on nine hits in six-plus innings, exiting the game after allowing two singles to open the seventh. Desmond added a run-scoring single and Jonathan Lucroy followed three batters later with a two-run double off Liam Hendriks to close out the scoring.
