Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia had three homers and eight RBI to hand the A’s an 18-3 loss.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The A’s saw big offseason pickup Shintaro Fujinami get rocked again as the Texas Rangers routed Oakland 18-3 on Saturday night.
Fujinami had improved in his two previous starts but matched the ugly numbers from his major league debut: eight runs in 2 1/3 innings. The key damage was delivered by Adolis Garcia, who hit three home runs and two doubles on an eight-RBI night. All three of García’s homers were two-run shots, and his first double also scored two to give him a career high for RBIs to go with the 30-year-old Cuban slugger’s first three-homer game.
The line-drive double down the line in left field from García could have scored Travis Jankowski, but he jogged to third, preserving Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez’s club record of nine RBIs in a game set in 1999.
