After a tough loss at the hands of the first place Texas Rangers last night at the Oakland Coliseum, the A’s and Rangers faced off again tonight. Mark Kotsay sent lefty JP Sears to the mound for his Oakland Athletics. Sears is 2-7 with a 4.08 ERA in twenty-two regular season starts. Righty Max Scherzer is 10-4 with a 4.04 ERA in twenty regular season starts in 2023. All but one of those starts this year had been with the New York Mets.
In the top of the second, Robbie Grossman doubled off the left field wall, and Ezequiel Duran singled to drive him home.
