Hahn saves bullpen after Alcantara labors

ARLINGTON -- Raul Alcantara's return to Globe Life Park, the site of his Major League debut and subsequent win last September, didn't go according to script this time.

The A's right-hander lacked command during his fleeting time on the mound in a 10-5 loss to Texas. Under his watch, eight Rangers runs were tallied and just six outs were recorded. Alcantara needed 58 pitches to get through the two-inning outing, departing in favor of the man he beat out for a rotation spot this spring. Right-hander Jesse Hahn, recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday to replace an injured John Axford on the roster, was summoned for his first relief appearance since 2014 with the Padres.
