 These AL West foes have each scored 74 runs in their 13 meetings this season, but the A's lead the series 8-5 mainly because they've won four of the teams' five one-run games. Still, Texas has the AL's third-best record in one-run games (25-20) -- behind Minnesota and Houston -- while Oakland ranks fourth (23-19).

 After having the AL's third-best record in July (15-9) and August (17-9), the A's are one of three teams tied for the AL's best mark in September at 8-3 along with the Yankees and Rays. Oakland is scoring 6.45 runs per game this month, second-best in the majors behind the Astros (6.82).

 The Rangers have moved back to .500 for the first time since August 14 (60-60), winning six of their last seven games while batting .293. Prior to this hot stretch, they had been hitting a major league-worst .231 since the All-Star break.

 Matt Olson hit his 85th career homer in his 345th career game Thursday. Since the team's move to Oakland in 1968, the only players to reach 85 homers in an A's uniform in fewer games were Khris Davis (303) and Mark McGwire (325).

 Nick Solak, who is 9-for-15 with two homers and eight RBI in his last four games, has a 1.073 OPS through his first 22 games as a major leaguer. The previous best by any player in franchise history at this point of his career was Chris Davis at .974 in 2008.

 Chris Bassitt is 5-1 with a 2.78 ERA in his last 10 starts but has faced an AL West team only twice in that span. Bassitt is 4-4 with a 5.29 ERA against division opponents this year, compared to 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA against all other teams.

Right-hander Mike Fiers will attempt to bounce back from the shortest start of his major league career while also trying to pick up his 15th victory of the season when the Oakland A's take on the Texas Rangers on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.
Fiers (14-4, 3.97 ERA) gave up nine runs on nine hits, including five home runs, in one-plus inning on Monday night in a 15-0 loss at Houston. The setback snapped a 21-start unbeaten streak for Fiers, tied with Hall of Famer Lefty Grove for the longest in franchise history. He also won 12 straight decisions during that stretch.

After dreadful outing, Fiers looks to keep A's rolling

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  The Oakland Athletics maintained their half-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the race for the American League's first wild card on Saturday night despite losing their No. 1 starter in the second inning thanks to what manager Bob Melvin called their ''relentless offense.''
Mark Canha's two-run home run off the left-field foul pole broke a fifth-inning tie as the A's beat the Texas Rangers 8-6 on Saturday night.
