Hahn rolls through 7 innings vs. Rangers

was denied a win at Globe Life Park on Friday evening, but not because the A's starter didn't deserve one.

The right-hander needed just 83 pitches to get through seven innings of one-run ball before handing the ball over to Ryan Dull, who pitched a clean eighth ahead of Santiago Casilla's ninth-inning meltdown. Texas walked off, 5-2, over the A's, who can find a bright spot in Hahn.

Hahn was teetering on the brink of a demotion, but the A's instead optioned right-hander Jharel Cotton to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday as they prepare for lefty Sean Manaea's return.
