When the Athletics entered the season, they thought a deep group of talented outfielders would be one of the strengths of the team.

Behind six-plus strong innings from Alexi Ogando and a three-run homer by Nelson Cruz, the Texas Rangers earned their first series win in Oakland in nearly two years following Wednesday's 6-2 decision over the Athletics at the Coliseum.
