Shea Langeleirs hit a two-out, two-run homer in the sixth inning to break a tie and the Oakland Athletics held on to beat the reeling Texas Rangers 6-3 on Friday night.
Texas, however, struggled to generate much offensively against five Oakland relievers, including Devin Sweet, who tossed two perfect innings in the fifth and sixth. Combined, the Oakland bullpen held the Rangers to one run on three hits over the final six innings.
Seager’s two-run home run in the first gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead. It was his 29th homer of the season and 16th in his past 34 games. Marcus Semien doubled and reached third on a fielding error, then scored on Nathaniel Lowe’s single to right to give Texas a 3-2 lead in the fourth. Two walks loaded the bases for Ezequiel Duran, but he lined out to center to end the inning.
