Texas Rangers experienced a frustrating 3-0 defeat to the Oakland Athletics, marking their first time at .500 this season. The team's struggle to score continued, managing just one run in two games against the Athletics. Their offense has not only gone through a homerless streak but failed to hit an extra-base hit across multiple games. Tyler Mahle, the opposing starter, has been impressive with a low ERA and no home runs allowed this season, despite suffering the loss. Marcus Semien provided some offense with a single and a stolen base, but the rest of the lineup faltered. The Rangers now have the longest homerless streak in the majors this year, mirroring the White Sox's record. With upcoming games against Seattle, the pressure mounts on the Rangers to break their slump and find offensive consistency.
