The Athletics got off to a quick start as Lawrence Butler hit a home run to begin the game. That lead remained until the fourth inning, when Texas equalized the score with a solo home run from Adolis Garcia.
The Rangers took the lead when Semien hit a fly ball that struck the left field foul pole off Newcomb with one out in the sixth inning. Texas extended their advantage in the seventh inning with four runs, starting with an RBI single from Josh Smith that scored Josh Jung. Seager then hit a powerful three-run home run, his 14th of the season, over the right field wall.
The Athletics scored a run in the seventh inning when Shea Langeliers’ hit against Texas reliever Robert Garcia brought in Jacob Wilson, who had reached due to an error.
But that’s as close as the visitors would come, as Garcia recorded the final out of the eighth inning and Shawn Armstrong struck out all three batters in the ninth for the Rangers.
