The Athletics return to the Coliseum having said goodbye to veterans Stephen Piscotty and Elvis Andrus as well as a modest two-game win streak.
Zach Logue gave up seven runs in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a getaway day 10-3 loss to the Texas Rangers, concluding a 2-5 road trip that included the release of two veteran players who were unlikely to be back in whatever form the A’s take in terms of a 2023 roster. Having lost 14 of their last 17 games, the A’s fell to 43-78 with Texas improving to 53-65.
Mike Mathias hit his second home run for Texas, with Nathaniel Lowe adding a three-run shot in the fifth, his 17th. Sheldon Neuse hit his fourth home run of the season for the A’s in the fourth inning.
