Rangers aiming for series sweep vs. A's

Sunday's starter for the Texas Rangers is looking forward to facing the Oakland A's in the series finale.

"It's always fun to face your old team," A.J. Griffin said.

It's been a fun season so far for the 29-year-old right-hander. Not only is Griffin 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA, but he's 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts against Oakland this season.

The Rangers (18-20) are looking to finish off a sweep and extend their season-high five-game winning streak.

Griffin is also coming off a complete-game shutout, the only such gem by a Texas starter this season and the first for the staff since September 2015.
