Game #116: Defensive errors snap win streak

Related Topics: Texas Rangers, Arlington

Does it count toward your win streak if you beat yourself?

The Oakland A’s made three defensive errors plus a key mistake on the basepaths in an 8-6 loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday, with the difference in that final margin being the two unearned runs allowed by Oakland. The defeat snaps a seven-game win streak.

The A’s entered the evening so hot that they were setting franchise records on nearly a daily basis. But you can’t win ‘em all, and they offered a reminder of that in Arlington tonight.

The 1st inning set the tone.
