Max Scherzer had six strikeouts and pitched three-hit ball over seven innings and the Rangers extended their longest winning streak in seven years to eight games, beating the last-place Oakland Athletics 6-1 on Tuesday night.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Max Scherzer had another strong outing for the Texas Rangers except for one thing. The three-time Cy Young Award winner was late taking the mound for his final inning of work and was called for a pitch-clock violation, meaning Scherzer began the inning with a 1-0 count.
It hardly mattered as Scherzer worked his way through the frame as efficiently as he had the previous six. Scherzer, whom the Rangers acquired in a trade from the Mets on July 30, worked efficiently through the worst offense in the majors in front of another sparse crowd of 5,419 at the Coliseum. Under Bochy who is in his first year with Texas, the Rangers have already matched their win total from last season and lead the Houston Astros by three games in the AL West.
The eight-time All-Star, who pitched six innings and allowed three runs against the Chicago White Sox in his Rangers’ debut on Aug. 3, was even better in his first road start with his new team and beat the A’s for the fourth time in eight outings.
