A’s 3, Rangers 1
- That wasn’t a very exciting game.
- One of the interesting — at least to me — YMMV — things about this game was the similarity in offensive performances by each team. Oakland had five hits, including a home run, a walk, and struck out seven times. The Rangers hitters, meanwhile, had seven hits, including a home run, a walk, and struck out eight times.
- Sequencing was the difference, as often happens.
- Kolby Allard had a quality start, logging 6 innings with three runs allowed on four hits and a walk.
