The Texas Rangers have struggled defensively for the past week, including in Thursday's final game against the moving Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum.
In many ways, it was a classic low-scoring, tension-filled tilt between two old American League West rivals. The Athletics bid— their home since 1968 — with a 3-2 win over the Rangers in the final game to be played at the 58-year-old stadium.
The Rangers finished with 203 wins all-time at Oakland Coliseum, the most by any team. This was the sixth time the Washington/Texas franchise participated in the final game at a club's full-time ballpark. That includes Arlington Stadium and Globe Life Park, as well as the Senator's original ballpark and the final game at Seattle's Kingdome and Municipal Stadium in Kansas City.
