RANGERS STRIKE BACK: Wyatt Langford Takes Over

The A’s had Texas on the ropes, but the Rangers came roaring back to steal Game 2, 5-3, and Wyatt Langford was the difference. Langford collected three hits, including a massive 421-foot two-run homer in the sixth inning that flipped the game and erased the A’s early 3-0 advantage. The A’s jumped ahead in the second behind a three-run home run from Henry Bolte, but after that early punch, the offense went quiet when it mattered most. Tonight on Last Call, we break down another frustrating loss, the A’s inability to protect a three-run lead, Langford’s monster performance, and a bullpen that ultimately gave Texas the opening it needed. The A’s had plenty of chances to answer after Langford’s homer but managed just one hit over the final four innings. Now the series comes down to the finale, and the question is simple: Can the A’s bounce back and take the series, or will Texas leave Sacramento with the W?
