Rangers' Wild Comeback Beats A's in Series Finale

Texas Rangers pulled off a wild comeback, beating the Oakland Athletics 9-6 in the finale of their 4-game series, earning a clean split on Thursday.

The A's grabbed a 6-5 lead late in the 8th when Nick Kurtz slapped a 3-run double that got past Wyatt Langford and left, looking like they had it locked.

But the Rangers fired back in the 9th.

Jake Berger and Josh Junk singled to open it up.

Then Kyle Higashioca's Bunt turned into an air that tied.

The game, Jock Patterson singled home the go-ahead run, and Ezekiel Durand piled on with a 2-run knock.

Earlier, it was back and forth. Rangers jumped up to nothing on a branded Nimmo RBI and Jake Berger sack fly. A's answered with 3 in the 5th off.

Jack Leiter Texas tied it on a pinch hit walk, and Josh Smith's double, then Junk smashes first homer of the year for a brief 5-3 edge.

Kyle Quantrill snagged the win with a scoreless knife while the series split keeps both teams grinding.

Rangers head to Seattle to face Jacob DeGrom, against Logan Gilbert and A's host, The White Sox, with Aaron Savali on The Hill Friday.
