The Texas Rangers scored three runs and the Oakland Athletics scored two runs.
The Rangers remain a thorn in Oakland’s side so far in 2021. The A’s kept getting hits off tonight’s starter Jordan Lyles but they could only muster a couple of runs as they went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
Meanwhile, the Rangers didn’t have a hit off Athletics starter Cole Irvin through the game’s first five innings. But before you could say Joe Musgrove or Corey Kluber, Texas put the first six batters on base in the bottom of the sixth to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead that they would not relinquish.
