The Texas Rangers completed a three-game sweep of the Athletics on Wednesday with a 2-1 win. The A's have now lost five of their first six games coming out of the All-Star break, and sit in last place in the AL West with one of the worst records in all of baseball.
Anyone looking for the type of play that might be emblematic of the A's season could find it in the bottom of the 7th inning. With the score tied 1-1 with two outs and a runner on first, Texas catcher Jonah Heim hit a high pop fly to shallow left field that should have ended the inning.
