Both 2013 All-Stars in Right-Handers Bartolo Colon for the A's and Japan's Yu "I will survive" Darvish had a game plan as they went to the Bump with one thing in mind, " They can't score if they miss the PEOLTA".
Colon went eight scoreless innings allowing seven hits and a free pass and sending seven Rangers back to their Hitting Coach. Darvish was for sure thinking he would get some run support and didn't as he gave up a bunny in frame one. Japan's Strikeout Artist went seven dealing like Colon except Yu will have you back in Triple A thinking, " this dude has me down here taking the MEGAbus and playing out of the Motel for real". His Stuff has Stuff again as he allowed one run on four hits and struck out ten Athletics as only Mr. Darvish can.
The A's only get four hits as the Rangers get seven hits but it was getting Ducks off the pond and no one could except the A's in frame one. Athletics First Baseman Brandon Moss gets the only RBI. The Rangers now fall some 5.5 games back of the A's in the West. More importantly the Rays, Tribe, O's, Yankees, and Royals are within 3.5 games or less of catching the Rangers as the #1 Wild Card...that's bad business right there!
