It wasn't easy but the Rangers beat the A's 9-7. With the win, the Rangers ended the series with a 2-2 tie. That means the A's spent four days in Texas and gained no ground. That also means the Rangers reduced their magic number to 3.
The Rangers finish their 4 game set with Oakland in Arlington. This is a third attempt for the Rangers to wrap up a postseason spot and lower the magic number to 3 while the A's try to win the series and drop to Rangers lead in the West to two games.
