Pregame Notes: Rangers Look For Series Win Over A's

The Texas Rangers look to bounce back in the finale of a three-game set Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Field. Oakland comes in with the worst record in baseball and in last place in the AL West Division.

Texas suffered a 14-7 loss to the A's on Tuesday night, who erupted for eight runs in the 12th inning and finished with season high in runs. The Rangers continue to look for answers in the bullpen. 

Can Rangers shortstop Corey Seager, the American League Player of the Week, keep it going? Seager hit his 21st home run to lead off the ninth inning in Tuesday's loss. Seager has hit a home run in a career-high five consecutive games, the longest streak in MLB this season.

In the AL West standings, Texas has fallen to third behind the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners. Here’s everything you need to know.
