Springs Leads Athletics to 3-0 Victory Over Rangers

Jeffrey Springs delivered six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and helping the Oakland Athletics secure a 3-0 win over the Texas Rangers. Springs, who had struggled early in recent starts, set the tone with a clean first inning and maintained control throughout, supported by a strong bullpen that preserved the shutout. Offensively, the Athletics took an early lead with an RBI single from Miguel Andujar in the first, while Jacob Wilson and Luis Urías each added RBI singles in later innings. The win marked the Athletics' second series victory over the Rangers in ten days, moving them up from last to third place in the American League West. Texas, meanwhile, extended its home run drought to seven games and was shut out for the fourth time this season. Manager Mark Kotsay praised Springs' aggressive mindset and the team's ability to capitalize on early scoring opportunities.
