The Texas Rangers scored five big ones but the Oakland Athletics scored ten bigger ones.
It took until the third start of his MLB career but Glenn Otto got a real Welcome To The Big Leagues moment tonight as he allowed eight Oakland A’s runs in 3 1⁄3 innings of work.
Otto still only walked one batter to five strikeouts but Oakland was able to smack him around, especially in a six-run second inning that all but doomed the squad’s bid for a fifth consecutive road win.
Player of the Game: Josh Sborz made an appearance in relief and tossed a scoreless inning with a couple strikeouts so there you go.
