The Texas Rangers play the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday in Game 3 of their series. The game starts at 3:35 p.m. ET. Listen to the radio broadcast below.
Oakland bounced back from a 14-8 loss on Monday with a 10-6 win on Tuesday. A's catcher Derek Norris accounted for half of Oakland's runs with his five RBIs on a homer in the sixth inning and a double in the eighth.
"Five RBIs off the bench; that's something special," Norris told the Associated Press. "I don't get any more or less aggressive whether someone is on or no one is on. I just try to put the barrel of the bat on the ball."
A's starting pitcher Tommy Milone also factored into the win, limiting Texas to just three earned runs on five hits and earning his fifth consecutive decision.
Oakland will send pitcher Sonny Gray (6-3, 2.93 ERA) to the mound on Wednesday. Gray is coming off a 7-0 loss on Friday against the New York Yankees, who took him for three earned runs despite the right-hander fanning seven batters.
Gray is scheduled to be opposed by Rangers pitcher Nick Tepesch (2-2, 3.94), who's looking for his third win of the season after receiving a no-decision in Texas' 1-0 win on Friday against Seattle. Tepesch has fared well against AL West opponents this season: He's 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in three starts, according to the Associated Press.
"I don't really try and focus on who I am throwing against," he said. "It's more about the hitters I'm facing. It's just controlling what I can control."
