The Athletics picked up the win Sunday afternoon, beating the Texas Rangers by a final of 5-2.
On the mound to start today’s game was JP Sears. The left-hander started off strong today, striking out the first three batters of the game. Even better, he rung them up looking, all three of them. His stuff must have looked really deceptive in the early going. His fastball was sitting 93-95 mph.
Then it was the bats’ turn. Not to be showed up by Sears, they got right to work. Outfielder JJ Bleday led off with a single and scored the next batter off a Zack Gelof RBI double.
