The Rangers blew a 4-0 lead and missed an opportunity to reach .500 for the first time this season.
Jed Lowrie hit a two-out RBI single off Brett Martin in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Oakland Athletics past the mistake-prone Texas Rangers 6-5 on Sunday.
After closer Dany Jiménez blew a save opportunity in the top of the ninth, the A’s came back and won in their final at-bat for the second time this season. They did it despite stranding 11 runners in scoring position — seven in the first four innings — and having a runner thrown out at the plate. “We didn’t cash in on a lot of opportunities but when it counted we did,” Lowrie said. “At the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Something to work on but we got the win.”
Cristian Pache hit a leadoff single off of Martin , then Tony Kemp popped out and Ramon Laureano grounded out to move Pache to second. Lowrie, who struck out in his first two at-bats and was 1 for 5, lined a 2-2 pitch into left-center and Charlie Culberson’s throw home sailed over the head of catcher Jonah Heim.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
