Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers to decide their 3-game series at Arlington’s Globe Life Park on Thursday afternoon.
The defending World Series champion Texas Rangers (7-5) stopped a three-game slide on Wednesday night. The win also ended the three-game winning streak of the Oakland Athletics (4-8), with the teams to decide the series at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Thursday afternoon. Texas right-hander Max Scherzer, recovering from back surgery, said on Wednesday he feels he’s ahead of schedule. Targeted for a summer return, the 39-year-old expects to throw live batting practice next week. Scherzer posted a 4-2 record with a 3.20 ERA and 0.956 WHIP in eight starts after the Rangers traded prospect Luisangel Acuña to the New York Mets last July to acquire the three-time Cy Young Award winner.
