The Oakland Athletics saw their offense dry up over the past three days, but they still managed to take two of three games from the Seattle Mariners in enemy territory. Scoring five runs in three games is not likely to fly, however, as the A's head to Arlington on Thursday to kick off a four-game set against the first-place Texas Rangers.
The Athletics' American League West divisional rivals hold one of the best records in baseball and have been a veritable offensive juggernaut for most of the season. The A's have a chance to turn some heads over the next four days, but it's a question of whether their offense will show up.
