OAKLAND, Calif.—Corey Seager hit a two-out, three-run home run in the eighth inning Monday night, rallying the Texas Rangers to a 4–2 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
The defending World Series champions were trailing 2–0 until Seager drilled a full-count pitch from reliever Lucas Erceg (1–2) over the wall in right-center field. Texas added an insurance run in the ninth on an error by Oakland first baseman Tyler Nevin.
