A's Struggle Continues Against Rangers | Oakland Athletics News

The Athletics are reeling as August ends with the worst record in the AL, surrendering the most runs in baseball and getting swept at home — then losing again on the road to the Rangers with DeGrom dominating. With September call-ups now allowed, Denzel Clarke returns to center field against Henry Bolte, while Yunior Tur gets another shot — fingers crossed for Joshua Kuroda-Grauer’s health. J.T. Ginn sits this one out; instead, it’s a bullpen game led by shaky lefty Brady Basso. The lineup features Clarke and Bolte facing MacKenzie Gore, who’s been effective against the A’s this season. Texas is chasing a division title, so Gore will be dialed in — and the A’s need offense and bullpen magic to avoid another sweep and finally turn things around.
