Slow start? What slow start?
The Oakland A’s won their sixth straight game on Thursday, raising their AL West division-leading record to nine wins in their first 13 contests.
The latest triumph came against the Texas Rangers by the score of 6-4, completing a three-game sweep at the Coliseum. The A’s bats stayed productive, putting 11 runners on base and going 3-for-5 with runners in scoring position, and they also got a home run from Matt Olson — his third in the last two games since showing up with a new mustache.
Even more important than the runs being scored was who was creating them.
