Athletics-Rangers Preview

(AP) -- The Oakland Athletics can take comfort in knowing they'll leave Texas still leading the AL West.

They can pad their lead by extending the struggles of the second-place Rangers on Wednesday night.

Brandon Moss hit his 13th homer while Jarrod Parker and two relievers held Texas (39-32) to three hits to help Oakland even the four-game set with a 6-2 win Tuesday. The A's (43-30) have dropped three of five since winning 21 of 26, but own a three-game lead over a Rangers club that has lost seven of eight and is 5-12 this month.
