ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Oakland Athletics are still waiting on their third straight trip to the playoffs. Jeremiah Sirles Jersey . On this night, they had only themselves to blame. The As couldnt take advantage of their first chance to clinch an AL wild-card spot on their own, allowing homers to rookie Jake Smolinski and Robinson Chirinos in a 5-4 win for the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. Oaklands lead over Seattle was cut to one game for the second wild-card slot. Almost two hours after the As lost, the Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 in 11 innings. The Athletics (87-74) will get another chance Sunday, scheduled as the final day of the regular season. These things are tough, As manager Bob Melvin said while the Mariners and Angels were still playing. It takes a while to digest these things, and you move on to whatever the next scenario is. The As have the second-worst record in the majors since they were 11 games up in the wild-card race and four games ahead of the AL West-winning Angels on Aug. 10. They have lost eight of 12. This time, they were beaten with trade deadline pickup Jeff Samardzija (5-6) facing spot starter Scott Baker after Derek Holland was a late scratch because of a migraine headache. The Rangers used eight pitchers to defeat the As for the fifth time in six games since last week. Spencer Patton (1-0), the fourth reliever, got his first major league win, and Neftali Feliz earned his 13th save. I was hoping that it wouldnt have to be that way, Texas manager Tim Bogar said. But that team over there, they always keep it close. Bottom line was, one pitcher, eight pitchers, it all works. Josh Donaldson and Josh Reddick had three hits apiece for Oakland, including singles in a two-run eighth that ended with Alberto Callaspos fly ball that was caught by Smolinski at the wall in right field with two runners on base. We cant get the one hit that we need to go to the playoffs, Reddick said. Its very frustrating. Donaldson, who couldnt run anywhere close to full speed because of a knee injury sustained a night earlier, homered to left for a 1-0 lead in the first, made a diving play for an out on a sharp grounder in the second, and beat out an infield single in the sixth. He was walking around the clubhouse after the game with an ice pack the size of a basketball on his knee. Pretty amazing, Melvin said. Struggling to run around the bases, obviously, but he wants to be in there and help the team win. Baker, who hadnt pitched since Sept. 5 after dealing with soreness in his right arm, was pulled in the fifth inning. Left-handers Alex Claudio and Michael Kirkman got both of their outs on double plays against the first hitters they faced. Patton recorded all three outs in the seventh. Samardzija had gone 23 straight innings without allowing an earned run when the Rangers got two in the first on consecutive RBI singles from Rougned Odor and Adrian Beltre. Smolinski made it 3-1 with his third home run of the season, a shot to left field in the fourth. Chirinos 13th homer was a two-run drive that put Texas ahead 5-2 in the seventh. MILESTONE FOR DUNN: Hollands headache put big Oakland designated hitter Adam Dunn in the lineup for his 2,000th game. The active leader in games played without a trip to the post-season singled and struck out twice before Jonny Gomes pinch-hit for him in the eighth. TRAINERS ROOM: Athletics: Donaldson, who injured his left knee making a back-handed stop at third base on Friday, said he was reassured by the Rangers medical staff that he didnt have any structural damage. Rangers: Holland wasnt ruled out as the starter in Sundays season finale after he was scratched. UP NEXT: Athletics: RHP Sonny Gray (13-10, 3.23) is 0-3 in five September starts and has just one win since Aug. 1. He is a loss away from matching the career-high, four-game losing streak he had last month. Rangers: Nick Martinez (5-11, 4.61) has a 2.12 ERA in his past five starts. He beat Houston on Tuesday for his first career home victory in his ninth start in Arlington. Martinez also beat Gray to complete a series sweep in Oakland last week. Russell Bodine Jersey . The Mariners ace allowed just one hit over eight innings while striking out nine, and Robinson Cano backed him with a two-run homer as Seattle earned a 3-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. Vosean Joseph Jersey . Howard had 17 points and a career-high-tying 26 rebounds in his Houston debut, James Harden added 21 points and the Rockets cruised to a 96-83 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night. http://www.wholesalebillsjerseys.com/ . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - David Silva scored a pair of goals for Manchester City on Saturday to lead the club to a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, moving City level on 39 points at the top of the table with Chelsea. City entered the match woefully short on options at striker with Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic all out on Saturday. But Silva stepped up and filled the void by scoring in the 49th and 61st minutes before Yaya Toure capped the scoring nine minutes from time to hand City its eighth successive win in all competitions. A patient approach from the home side still yielded decent chances in the first half, but it wasnt until after the break that Silva fired his team in front. Pablo Zabaleta did some good work to get into the penalty area and drop the ball off for Silva, whose first-time shot took a wicked deflection on its way past goalkeeper Julian Speroni. Silva was at it again just after the hour mark when he arrived in front of goal to redirect a low cross from Aleksandar Kolarov past Speroni. James McArthur thought he had pulled a goal back for the visitors when he headed the ball past Joe Hart in the City net, only for it to be ruled out for offsides. Toure put the finnishing touches on the win in the 81st minute when he took control of the ball from James Milner and smashed a shot off the post and into the net. Cheap Bills Jerseys Online.
