ARLINGTON -- The Athletics' pitchers have struggled to keep the ball in every ballpark but their own this season, serving up an American League-most 47 homers on the road -- including the five the Rangers hit Tuesday night in Oakland's 7-4 loss.
Lefty Sean Manaea had perhaps his best start since April, allowing two solo homers over 5 1/3 innings, but the Oakland bullpen faltered in the seventh when Yusmeiro Petit gave up a two-run shot to Shin-Soo Choo, and then the A's let the game slip away in the eighth when Lou Trivino yielded a solo homer to Adrian Beltre and a two-run rocket to Joey Gallo.
