After an embarrassing loss Saturday night, the Oakland Athletics will again try to pick up the pieces Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the Texas Rangers.
Oakland won the opener Friday rallying from a four-run deficit to win 5-4. Jordan Diaz’s ninth inning home run off of Will Smith was the deciding blow and snapped a seven-game losing streak. The A’s came crashing back to reality though Saturday as Shintaro Fujinami allowed eight runs in just 2 1/3 innings of an 18-3 loss.
Oakland will turn to lefty Kyle Muller, who is in need of a good outing, in the finale.
