Game Summary
Athletics defeated Texas Rangers 8-3. Oakland opened the scoring with a three-run first keyed by Carlos Cortes' double and got big contributions from Jeff McNeil, who went 4-for-5 with a homer, a double and three RBIs. Texas briefly tied the game on Jake Burger's three-run shot in the sixth, but McNeil's solo home run in the bottom half restored the lead and Lawrence Butler's homer plus McNeil's two-run double in the eighth provided insurance. Starter Gage Jump worked 5.1 innings, allowing three runs while keeping the Rangers' lineup in check, and relievers Hogan Harris and Luis Medina finished strong — Medina tossed 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and recorded the win.
