A’s 2, Rangers 0
- Its like yesterday’s game, just in reverse.
- It was a bullpen game, essentially. Garrett Richards was announced as the opener, after Spencer Howard had been announced as the starter a couple of days ago, but they each threw two innings apiece, and had about the same number of pitches.
- Richards allowed a couple of singles to start the game, but got a fly out and a GIDP to escape the first unscathed, and allowed just a Nick Allen walk in the second.
- Spencer Howard, newly activated from the injured list, had a really nice third, starting and ending the inning with a strikeout, with a Tony Kemp fly out in between.
