The Texas Rangers pounded the Oakland A s by a score of 8-3 on Thursday, winning their first road series since May 3-6 in Minnesota. It was also the first time the Rangers have won a series at Oakland Coliseum since 2016.
Gallo led the way for the Rangers once again, hitting his 20th home run of the season as part of a 3-for-3 day. Gallo extended his hitting streak to six games, going 10-for-20 during that span with seven home runs and 13 RBI. Seven of his last nine hits have been home runs.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) â Joey Gallo homered in his fifth straight game, Nate Lowe went deep twice and the Texas Rangers pounded the Oakland Athletics 8-3 on Thursday.
Gallo finished 3 for 3 with a walk and three RBIs. His five-game homer streak is the longest in the majors this season and tied for second in Rangers history behind Kevin Mench, who homered in seven straight games in 2006.
âIâve always been somewhat streaky,â Gallo said. âRight now, itâs just nothing can go wrong for me, and Iâm not saying that in an arrogant way or a cocky way. Itâs just almost surprising. But for me, I just stayed the course. I knew at some point, things would break out and would happen for me.â
