OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Starling Marte went 4 for 5 with an RBI, Seth Brown homered and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep. We’re playing better baseball right now.”Isiah Kiner-Falefa homered for Texas, which lost its 14th consecutive road game, two shy of the franchise record. So I am happy about that.”Added Melvin: “He gives us six innings, only three hits, gets swings and misses, real efficient. Kiner-Falefa’s eighth-inning homer cut the A’s lead to 6-3, but Lou Trivino pitched a scoreless ninth for his 18th save. Athletics: LHP Sean Manaea (8-7 3.26) will start Tuesday as Oakland begins a three-game series in Cleveland.
