On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara Mason:

#1  Texas took the early lead in the first inning 1-0. Adolis Garcia doubled Corey Seager home and the Rangers would extend their lead in the third inning to 2-0. 

#2 The A’s finally got on the board in the fifth inning. It was no surprise that it was Brent Rooker who started the Oakland rally hitting a single allowing Jacob Wilson to reach home for the single run.

#3 The A’s would tie up the game in the eighth inning when Max Schuemann singled and Zach Gelof scored for the 2-2 game.

#4 The Rangers Josh Jung in the bottom of the ninth took a mighty swing and sent the ball out of the park for a 6-4 Texas win and a Mason Miller blown save.

#5 The Seattle Mariners will come calling on Monday night at the Oakland Coliseum. The M’s will start Logan Gilbert (7-10, 3.09) for the A’s Osvaldo Bido (5-3, 3.21) first pitch 4:07 pm PT.
