 Oakland's 21-9 record against AL West opponents this year is the best by any MLB team against its own division. That includes a 5-1 mark against the Rangers, having outscored them 32-16 in those contests.

 The A's are the only AL West team that doesn't currently have a losing record, and their 6.5-game lead in the division is the largest by any of the divisional leaders. Oakland hasn't won the division since doing so in back-to-back years in 2012 and 2013.

 The Rangers took two out of three games from the Angels this week, ending a streak of seven consecutive series lost -- tied for the longest in MLB this year (Arizona has an active seven-series streak).

 Isiah Kiner-Falefa is one of two MLB players leading their team outright (no ties) in base hits, runs scored and stolen bases, along with Washington's Trea Turner. The last Texas player to lead the team outright in those three categories was Otis Nixon in 1995.

 Matt Olson leads the A's in homers (12) and RBI (31) despite a .193 batting average. Among MLB players with a sub-.200 batting average, Olson is tied for first in homers (Eugenio Suarez, Cin) while ranking first in RBI.

 Mike Fiers has a 23-8 (.742) record with the A's since making his first start with the club on August 20, 2018. That's the third-best record by any AL pitcher with at least 25 decisions over that span, behind Justin Verlander (26-7, .788) and Gerrit Cole (28-8, .778).

Oakland completes its season series with the host Texas Rangers to wrap up a three-day, four-game set on Sunday afternoon, but the Athletics hope to see Globe Life Field again next month.
The first-place A's (29-16) have moved closer to the American League West title with two wins in the first three games of the series, making them 4-2 this season at the Rangers' new home.

Rangers send Lynn to mound to try to split series with A's

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  The busy A's are in the midst of a frenetic few days the American League West leaders knew were coming, and manager Bob Melvin is hoping for a minimum of break-even baseball.
A loss in Texas sent Oakland on its way with that plan intact.
