OAKLAND -- Adrian Beltre's latest home run barrage was not enough to lift the Rangers to victory on Saturday afternoon.
Beltre hit two home runs, but the decisive shot was the homer delivered by Matt Olson leading off the eighth against Rangers reliever Chris Martin to give the Athletics an 8-6 victory at the Coliseum. The Rangers have lost 12 of their last 18 games and are now 20 games under .500 (61-81) for the season.
Beltre now has five home runs in his last seven games.
