OAKLAND, Calif. — Corey Seager hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Texas Rangers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 4-2. The defending World Series champions were trailing 2-0 until Seager drilled a full-count pitch from Lucas Erceg over the right-center wall with two outs. Texas added an insurance run in the ninth on an error by first baseman Tyler Nevin. Kirby Yates got three outs for his sixth save. The A's, who are leaving Oakland at the end of this season for Sacramento while they await a new stadium in Las Vegas, drew a season-low 2,895 fans at the Coliseum. Texas has won four of five, and tied a season high with its three-game win streak. The A's have dropped two in a row after winning six straight.
