A’s drop finale, settle for 2 of 3 vs. Rangers

Jonathan Lucroy’s proclamation was heard in every corner of the A’s clubhouse last week: “We win two out of three the rest of the year, we’re going to win the World Series.” That was after the A’s took two of three from the Mariners. They’ve since stolen two of three from the Astros and another pair from the Rangers, yet again falling just shy of a sweep on Wednesday in a 4-2 loss at the Coliseum.
