Adolis Garcia saw, swung at, and promptly blasted the first ball he saw far above the Coliseum’s left field fence. Oakland’s Paul Blackburn’s rude welcome back from his first All-Star berth saw him give up that titanic two-run blast alongside a RBI double in the first inning of the A’s wild 11-8 loss to the Texas Rangers. Things didn’t get much better for Blackburn in what ended up being one of the silliest games of the season.
The Rangers appeared to be poised for another big inning in the fourth when former A’s star Marcus Semien doubled off Sheldon Nuese’s glove at third. Corey Seager and his 22 home runs were to be followed up by Nathaniel Lowe, Jonah Heim, and Garcia. But Blackburn got himself out of the two-out dilemma when he picked off Semien, who had strayed a bit too far off the bag to recover. A review upheld a call vociferously protested by Texas’ $175 million man.
Jonah Heim hit a double, Garcia walked, Taveras singled, Kole Calhoun also got on base, and all four eventually scored during an inning where the A’s just could not get an out.
