One thing that manager Ron Washington won’t do is admonish one of his players for giving maximum effort while trying to make a play.
That’s what Nelson Cruz was doing Tuesday night as he tried to get the Texas Rangers back in the dugout in the second inning.
A line drive was headed toward him in right field. A catch would end the inning. A dive and a miss, though, and Oakland would likely break a scoreless tie.
Cruz did miss, and the Athletics wound up with two runs on the play after an errant throw home. That sequence proved to be the key element in 9-1 loss at McAfee Coliseum.
Oakland scored five runs in the seventh to break open a 3-1 game that could have been a tied contest had the second inning played out differently.
