Your story for today is the Rangers hit two home runs and for the first time in the last 100 games that these two teams have played Khris Davis didn’t hit any!
Texas scored four runs in total off Edwin Jackson which I didn’t think was possible because the A’s scavenged Jackson from a discarded pile in a recycling bin next to a dumpster in an alleyway behind a sewage plant on an island consisting of nothing but landfills. Those guys for Oakland usually shut the Rangers out.
As mentioned, Davis didn’t hit any home runs but that’s because for the first time in three years, the Rangers realized it was a bad idea to pitch to him and sent him merrily to first bases twice via a walk and a HBP.
