Bolte's first career multihomer game leads Athletics over Rangers 9-2
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Henry Bolte had his first career multihomer game,
Zack Gelof, Jonah Heim and Alika Williams also went deep, and the Athletics
scored nine unanswered runs to beat the Texas Rangers 9-2 on Wednesday.
Bolte hit the first of his homers in the third inning, a two-run, game-tying
shot, before Gelof gave the A's a 3-2 lead with a solo home run.
Bolte struck again in the fourth, crushing his eighth homer of the season over
the right-field wall for another two-run blast. Heim, in his return to Globe
Life Field after playing for the Rangers from 2020-25, followed with a solo
homer against his former team, extending the Athletics' lead to 6-2.
Alika Williams capped the scoring with a two-run home run in the fifth and an
RBI double in the seventh to help the A's avoid a three-game sweep.
Jacob Lopez (6-4) threw six innings, striking out seven and allowing both runs
on six hits. Over his last 10 starts, he has a 2.28 ERA and 61 strikeouts over
51 1/3 innings.
Ezequiel Durn and Justin Foscue both had solo home runs for the Rangers. The
hit was Durn's first career leadoff homer.
Cody Bradford (0-4) allowed five runs --- all on homers --- in four innings of
work for Texas.
