The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Oakland Athletics did not score.
Nothing too appalling happened to the Rangers in Oakland today so in addition to a tidy victory that guaranteed Texas a successful road trip, there is the added feeling of relief that the Coliseum remained sated from last night’s bloodbath.
Pray the beast slumbers tomorrow as well.
Player of the Game: Today’s starter Jon Gray took a no-hitter into the 7th inning and escaped his outing without allowing a run in eight innings on three hits, two walks, and five strikeouts.
