OAKLAND — Pitch well, defend better, wait for the power to follow.
When the A’s speak about firing on all cylinders, those are the three boxes to check. The A’s checked each, in some capacity, in Monday’s 6-4 win over the Texas Rangers.
Four home run game
One cold player hit two, one hot hitter hit one, and another hit his first career home run to power the A’s into a comfortable lead by the ninth inning.
