Bolte's first career multihomer game leads Athletics over Rangers 9-2

Bolte struck again in the fourth, crushing his eighth homer of the season over the right-field wall for another two-run blast. Heim, in his return to Globe Life Field after playing for the Rangers from 2020-25, followed with a solo homer against his former team, extending the Athletics’ lead to 6-2.
Alika Williams capped the scoring with a two-run home run in the fifth and an RBI double in the seventh to help the A's avoid a three-game sweep.
Jacob Lopez (6-4) threw six innings, striking out seven and allowing both runs on six hits. Over his last 10 starts, he has a 2.28 ERA and 61 strikeouts over 51 1/3 innings.
