6-3!

A's patient hitting allowed them to overcome an early deficit and complete the Sweep of the Rangers. One thing I'm really appreciating is the evolution of Semien on the field, from dreadful to slick fielder. I'm really praising the work that Ron Washington has done for this team.  I'm also giving a major thumbs up to Rickey Henderson as the base-running in the steals department has been phenomenal.  I'm also really happy with third base coach Gallego's decisions lately.  I haven't said all I need to say but wow what a fun team to watch and it's really nice to be out of last place at least for a little bit!
