Rangers-Athletics Preview

May 18, 2016 - 6:28 AM While the Texas Rangers will soon be missing Roughed Odor following his punch heard 'round baseball, the only thing Khris Davis and Danny Valencia have been slugging lately is home runs for the resurgent Oakland Athletics.

After Davis' walk-off heroics, the Rangers hope to cool off the A's on Wednesday as they try to avoid getting swept at Oakland for the first time since October 2012.

Elvis Andrus is eligible to return after serving a one-game penalty for his aggressive actions in a brawl with Toronto on Sunday. Odor, however, was suspended for eight games and fined $5,000 for punching slugger Jose Bautista in the jaw.

''I have to follow the rules, and I'm just waiting for the appeal," said Odor, who is hitting .282 with seven home runs. "I want to be with my team all year. I don't want to be out eight games.''

After going 2 for 22 over his previous five games, Odor was one of six Texas batters to finish with two hits in Tuesday's 8-5 loss in the second of this three-game series at Oakland Coliseum. Ian Desmond, Nomar Mazara and Adrian Beltre homered.

Desmond is hitting .362 with three home runs and 13 RBIs over his last 11 games.

The A's, however, outslugged the Rangers (22-18) with a season high-tying four home runs en route to matching their highest run total. Davis went deep a career-high three times, including a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning.

''The adrenaline was pumping so fast; it was an amazing feeling,'' Davis said. ''It was pretty extraordinary to see the fans go off the way they did. It was a rush.''

Valencia also homered Tuesday and is 8 for 19 with six long balls in his last five.

Oakland (18-22), which has homered 13 times while winning four of five, seeks its first four-game winning streak since a six-game run from April 16-22.

Rich Hill, who has gone 4-1 with a 2.05 ERA in his last five starts, surrendered three runs over six innings in Friday's 6-3 win at Tampa Bay. He ranks among the AL leaders with 53 strikeouts, though he's also been wild at times with 20 walks.

Hill (5-3, 2.68 ERA) is making his first start against the Rangers, though Prince Fielder is 5 for 16 with a home run and a triple lifetime versus the left-hander.

Texas' Martin Perez also hopes to keep pitching well after limiting opponents to two earned runs or less in six of his eight outings. He has a 1.93 ERA in his last four after giving up one earned run over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's 5-0 loss to Toronto.

Perez (1-3, 3.23), however, only has one victory to show for it thanks in part to a 2.28 run-support average that ranks among the lowest in the AL.

"I trust my teammates," the left-hander told the league's official website. "I feel good about what is going to happen if I continue to do my job."

Since throwing a three-hitter at Oakland in April 2014, Perez has surrendered 13 runs over 8 2/3 innings in his last two meetings. Coco Crisp has gone 6 for 16 off him, but Josh Reddick has gone 3 for 15 and Valencia is 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

The A's announced that first baseman Mark Canha will undergo season-ending back surgery. He's one of 11 players on the disabled list, the club's most since 1989.
