Miguel Gonzalez allowed three runs in six innings Thursday in his third straight decent start to finish the season, but the Texas Rangers again couldn’t solve the Oakland A’s in 4-1 loss at Globe Life Park.
The Rangers have lost seven straight games for the first time since 2014, and seven straight to the last-place A’s for the first time since 2005. Oakland can pass the fourth-place Rangers with a sweep of the four-game series.
The game was 1-1 with two outs in the sixth when Ryon Healy lofted a single to center field off Gonzalez that scored two A’s runs.
