WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Zack Gelof and Lawrence Butler each hit two-run homers, Tommy White had his first major league homer and the Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Sunday.
The A's won their first home series since June 12-14 in Las Vegas, and first series in West Sacramento since April 28-30. They were 0-12-1 over the previous 13 series at their current home ballpark.
Jacob Lopez (6-4) struck out six and gave up two runs on five hits in six innings for his first win in his past four starts, after getting no-decisions in his previous three.
After Jake Burger hit a solo home run in the second to put the Rangers ahead, Butler responded with a 394-footer that wrapped around the right-field pole to give the A's the lead.
Burger drove in a second run for Texas on a forceout in the third. He finished 3 for 4.
