Rangers Dominate Athletics at Home | Oakland Athletics News

The Texas Rangers crushed the Oakland Athletics 8-1 in Game 1, extending their home winning streak to four of five and climbing to 68-70 on the season. The A’s, meanwhile, fell to 53-85 with their fourth straight loss, as rookie pitcher Gage Jump set a career-high with seven earned runs in just over four innings. The Rangers’ offense is heating up, scoring more in each of their last three games, while their home pitching has been elite—allowing just 1.6 runs per game over their last five. Next up: MacKenzie Gore for Texas, facing a struggling Brady Basso (whose ERA has ballooned from last year) and an Athletics lineup that’s barely kept pace. Momentum’s firmly on the Rangers’ side—and they’re not slowing down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
