Billy Burns introduces himself to the Ranger fan doghouse as Texas loses its first series in their last seven
The Rangers had the best road record in baseball and then lost two straight games to the team with the worst record in the American League and a 9-18 record at home. The A's had lost the last six games in which Scott Kazmir pitched. Chi Chi Gonzalez hadn't allowed a run in his major league career before allowing one in the first inning. That run would hold up as the Rangers did nothing at the plate before the A's tacked on six runs in the 8th.
