The Texas Rangers returned the favor of early scoring against the Oakland A's Sunday, scoring six runs in the second inning en route to a 10-3 series-clinching victory at Globe Life Park.
Texas (2-4) scored all six of its second-inning runs after two outs were recorded. Shin-Soo Choo started the two-out rally with a single. It was Carlos Gomez's two-out grand slam that made it 5-0 and set the Rangers on a path for victory.
Yu Darvish rebounded from his season-opening loss with 10 strikeouts in seven-plus innings and a no-hitter which he carried into the sixth. James Loney busted out of his early-season slump with a 4-for-5 day that included a solo homer in the eighth, his first of the year.
