Cole Irvin and three relievers combined on a four-hitter, Stephen Piscotty homered in his second game back from the COVID-19 injured list, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.
Irvin allowed one hit in five innings to win his second straight decision. The left-hander didn't allow a hit after Marcus Semien's infield single leading off the game. Semien was erased on a foreout and Irvin allowed three runners after that -- two by walks and one by an error.
Zach Johnson pitched two crisp innings, Kirby Snead retired three batters and Dany Jimenez worked out of a two-out, two-on jam in the ninth for his third save.
