Vimael Machin scored on first baseman Nathaniel Lowe’s fielding error to snap a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, and the Oakland Athletics held off the Texas Rangers 3-1 on Saturday night.
OAKLAND, Calif. —
“Santana got in some trouble with his command there and we took advantage of it and it led to an inning where we got some runs,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “Guys were trying to stay within themselves, stay in the zone and feed off each other. That was a good example of them doing that.” “I feel like we’ve been playing better baseball,” Machin said. “We’re putting great at-bats together as a team — that’s always a plus. Now we have momentum going in the second half. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.”
Texas loaded the bases with one out in the sixth after Kirby Snead gave up two hits and a walk. Acevedo replaced Snead and got pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson to ground into an inning-ending double play.
