ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Brandon Nimmo set season highs with four hits and five RBIs, Corey Seager scored three times and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 8-5 on Tuesday night.
Texas pulled within one game of Houston atop the AL West. The first-place Astros lost 5-1 to the Chicago White Sox in a matchup of division leaders.
Seager doubled twice and scored on Nimmo's first three RBI hits, including a bouncing two-run single in the fifth inning. Seager had the second of two sacrifice flies in the sixth.
Jeff McNeil hit a two-run homer in the ninth for the Athletics, who lost their fifth straight game and have four losing streaks at least that long in the past two months. That stretch includes skids of 10 and nine games.
MacKenzie Gore (8-10) pitched around five singles and four walks, allowing one run in 5 1/3 innings.
