 Oakland has averaged 7.8 runs and totaled 16 home runs and 11 doubles during a five-game winning streak against Texas. The Athletics have won 11 of 16 meetings this season, including five of seven at home.

 The Rangers' losing streak reached five with a 3-2 loss at Houston on Wednesday. Texas has a 7.33 ERA and surrendered 16 home runs during the team's longest slide since a season-high eight-game skid in July. The Rangers need to win seven of their final nine games to avoid a third straight losing season.

 The A's pulled out a 1-0 victory over the Royals in 11 innings Wednesday, their eighth win in nine games.  During that nine-game span, Oakland has batted .295 with RISP and averaged 7.2 runs. Since July 27, the A's are 33-14 for the second-best winning percentage in MLB (.702). Only Houston (.708) is better.

 Marcus Semien is batting .396 (21-for-53) with seven home runs and 17 RBI during a 13-game hitting streak this season against the Rangers. Since September 5, Semien is 23-for-58 (.397) with five homers and 12 RBI. His 1.246 OPS in that span (min. 50 PA) ranks third in the majors.

 Mike Minor, Friday's projected starter, has a 4.22 ERA at home and a 2.63 ERA on the road. His 1.56 differential is the largest in the AL (min. 25 overall starts, road better than home). Minor allowed a season-high seven earned runs over five innings in an 8-6 home loss to the A's on Saturday.

 Matt Chapman is 6-for-58 (.103) in 16 games this month for the lowest average in the majors among players with at least 50 plate appearances. His 26 strikeouts during that span are tied for the second-most in MLB.

Veteran right-handers Tanner Roark and Lance Lynn will have different agendas Sunday afternoon when they go head-to-head in the series finale between the host Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers.
The A's have dominated the first two games of the series, winning 8-0 and 12-3 to run their winning streak against the Rangers to seven. Oakland has already clinched the season series with a 13-5 advantage.

A's Roark, Rangers' Lynn look to finish strong

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  The Oakland Athletics didn't seem too concerned after a lopsided defeat to the Texas Rangers prevented them from adding to their lead in the AL wild-card race.
Tampa Bay's loss to Boston earlier in the day gave the A's a little more margin for error and made it a lot easier for manager Bob Melvin's ballclub to move on.
