Oakland swept a three-game series at home against Texas from Aug. 4-6 and has won or tied 14 consecutive series of three games or more between the teams since August 2017. It's the A's longest streak vs. a single opponent since they won or tied 17 straight series against the Brewers from 1969-72.

The Rangers enter the series trying to avoid the franchise's first nine-game losing streak since May 30-June 8, 2003. Texas is one of two teams that have not lost nine straight games in any season since 2004, along with the Yankees.

Oakland is 13-0 this season when allowing three runs or fewer and is one of two teams undefeated when doing so (Giants, 9-0). However, only four of those games came on the road, where the A's have compiled a 4.60 team ERA compared to a 2.66 ERA at home.

Joey Gallo has struck out 21 times in 29 at-bats in eight games against the A's since Sept. 9, 2018, tied for the most by any player in an eight-game span vs. a single opponent in the modern era. Former Ranger Pete Incaviglia holds the modern record for most K's against a single opponent over a nine-game stretch, 24 against the Red Sox from May 17-Sept. 3, 1986.

Sean Murphy is 7-for-20 (.350) with a .500 on-base percentage during a seven-game hitting streak on the road, the longest streak by an A's rookie catcher away from home since Stephen Vogt had an 11-game run from Aug. 11-Sept. 25, 2013.

Lance Lynn enters Monday's start second in the AL with a 1.37 ERA and held the A's to one run on three hits over 6.1 innings on Aug. 4. Lynn is the first pitcher in Rangers history to allow two runs or fewer and strike out six or more while pitching at least five innings in each of his first six starts in a season.

HP - Libka, 1B - Johnson, 2B - Barrett, 3B - Morales

A retooled lineup will try to help the Oakland Athletics remain on track Wednesday against the Texas Rangers in the third contest of a four-game series at Arlington, Texas.
The teams have split the first two games of the series, with the Athletics rebounding for a 10-3 win on Tuesday behind two-run home runs by Matt Olson and Marcus Semien, a three-run double by Stephen Piscotty and solid starting pitching from Sean Manaea.

A's aim for another offensive explosion at Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  The Oakland Athletics have never lost a game started by Mike Fiers against the Texas Rangers.
Fiers allowed only an unearned run over six innings in a 3-1 win on Wednesday night, when the A's opted to play after three other Major League Baseball games were postponed when those teams decided to sit out. Oakland players still planned to discuss whether to play the series finale in Texas on Thursday in the wake of the weekend shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin.
