An eight-run eighth inning helped send the Oakland Athletics to an 11-3 loss to the Texas Rangers Sunday afternoon at the Coliseum.
JP Sears’ afternoon got off to a rough start as he hit Marcus Semien to start the game. Robbie Grossman followed with a two-run home run off the foul pole in left to stake the Rangers to an early lead.
The A’s got a run back in the second as Ramon Laureano doubled off the glove of third baseman Josh Jung and then moved to third on a wild pitch. Shea Langeliers reached on an infield single that Ezequiel Duran made a diving stop on.
