It's here. Nick Curts is here. The big bopper has arrived in his big league debut season. Nick Curts is an athletic. And there he is. Nick Curts taking the field as an athletic for the first time. JP Sears sizzle making his fifth start of the season and coming off what I would categorize as his best outing of the season. And now the 01 pitch to the veteran Polaris. A high five ball right center. playable. Blade going over. He's right there. And the center fielder makes the catch. Here's Wyatt Langford hitting 292, five homers, seven RBI's. Right-handed batter against the lefty Sears. JP's one-two pitch. Down goes Langford. And JP strikes out the right-handed hitting outfielder. So Langford esc Young. Weekly grounded to second base. Aras gets there, throws to first in for Sarah. It's a one, two, three. Top of the first. Now the youngster Kamar Rocker on the mound for the Texas Rangers. 1-2 on the year with a 638 erra. 18 and a3 innings pitch. 14ks to four walks. Lawrence Butler leads out for the ace. And Lawrence hits a high fly ball to left center and deep. Polar is back at the track. He'll turn and watch it fire. And a beautiful swing by Lawrence Butler. His fourth of the year. And number four puts the A's on the board early. One- nothing A's right off the top in the bottom of the first. Here's Sodtorm who stands inbounding 281. Two2 lifted a deep left. Langford on the run and it will one off the wall and Sodrom hustling to second base sliding in safely and the A have their second extra base hit of this bottom of the first. So with one out, the A's have a runner at second base and a one- nothing lead in the first for Shay Langalers. And that's dumped into left field for a base hit. Eric Martins is going to wave Sodrom home. The throw to the plate is late and Langalers is able to score. Sodro from second base. The A's double their total. They lead two to nothing. Jacob the wide open stance. Rocker to the plate and swung on line to left angle toward the line and that is going to get down for a hit. Turning a second now putting on the brakes as Langelas. That is the fourth hit in six batters here in the first inning for the A's. And with two on and two outs, it will be Nick Curts for his first big league at bat. Family in the ballpark. The big league dream realized. One, two, bouncing ball through for a base hit. Rounding third is Legal Ears. He will score. Nick Curts. Welcome to Major League Baseball. Nick Curts with a base hit in his first major league at bat and the A's lead three nothing. Take a bow Curtsy. Talk about working an AB here early. It's Urella now. Three to nothing A's. Scoring is Wilson. Curt to third. They'll hold him there. Ur will go to second with a stand up double and it's already 4 nothing in favor of the A's. The Rangers get lucky on the error there by the shortstop and have their first base runner. And that'll bring up Jake Burgerer. Burger swinging the first pitch. It's high in the infield. Nick Curts a chance on the pitcher mount. He trips and he dropped the baseball. They'll go to second and Curts landed awkwardly on the pitcher mound. He was okay, but that was Yeah, a little scary there. Fiona's choice. 36 Sears from the stretch. One-two pitch. Burgers going. throw down to second base is perfect and they gun down Burger. So that's how the top of the second inning will end and Shay Langalers guns down a runner. Rocker just not able to get into a groove or establish any kind of rhythm and he's going to be coming out here. The lefty Jacob Latz coming on to make his first appearance here of the 2025 season. So runners at first and second here with two men out now for JJ Blade. Four pinch walk load up the bases for Jacob Wilson. Could we see the first walk of the year for Jacob Wilson? Well, it would produce a run if it did. Three and one. He will. And the bases stay loaded for Curts. It's now five to nothing. Oh man. Well, he says, "Okay, guys. I'm going to walk, but I'm going to make sure that if I do it, I'm going to get an RBI out of Mangali now at third. Blade at second. Wilson at first. Here's Curtsy. He hits one just inside first. Fielded by Burger. Underhand flip. The lats covering and in time to retire. Curts making his big league debut. That's the final out here. Sears gets it out and now it's Kyle Higashioa and he just wiped out Higashi with his slider. Two down. One, two, and Ahmed goes fishing for a fast ball and misses. He's faced the minimum through three. Sears has faced the minimum through three. And with one away, here is Wyatt Langford. Rangers trailing here by the score of five to nothing. That ball is crushed. A soaring blast to left. That is gone. Langford with his sixth home run of the year. And there's not a park in baseball that would have held that one. Fortunately for the Athletics, it was just a solo homer. One-two pitch swung on. That's driven deep to right center field. Back goes Beday to the wall. He leaps and it's off his glove. Young on his way to second base and he's in there with a double and next up is Marcus Simeon and strike three called at the knees. So Sears picks up his fourth strike out and Langelers will drop it into right field going the other way. A three for three night so far for Shay and he is doing everything right at the plate and Ped is coming up. He is fly to center field and walked the 1-1 pitch and a bouncy ball hit the first right to Burger. Sets his left foot on the pillow and the inning's over. No runs hit one left. Four innings in the books. Rangers trying to create a little noise and the Rangers down 5-1. If runners at first and third with one out for Nick Ahmed. One out. You've got a chance to roll up a two ball and get out of this. One hopper to third. Urchel into second. Ras to first. Inning ending 543 double play. That's it for the Rangers in the fifth. And the single and a walk start off the Rangers sixth. Marse is out of the dugout. And this may be it for JP Sears considering the traffic and it is. So the A's are going to go to the bullpen. Another great performance for JP Sears. And the crowd agrees. They've turned it over to Justin Sterner. You got runners at the corners now with one out. And that'll bring up a Dol Garcia. Bouncing ball. Gio Orchella charges. He'll have one play at first. Dug out on the other side by Curts. But the Rangers do get a run. Curtsy able to pick it up and dig it out. Little short hop over there. No problem. Scarcia his 11th run batting into the season. And now the A lead is 5 to2. Credit where credit's due. Lat has come into the game and now delivered three and two/3 innings of scoreless relief work. And here's a swing and a miss on a pitch that was down. Good slider that time from Latz and Rooker is out on strikes. The one-two pitch swinging a miss. He got him to chase a slider away. Jacob Latz looking really good with a huge gift here tonight. Four and a third shut out innings of relief so far. And this ball is going to one up over the wall for a ground rule double and Langalers is four for four on the night. Wow. for Shade. That's his fourth double of the year and he just terrorizes Texas pitching on the play. Langlers moves to third. That'll bring up Nick Curts. One, two, got him swinging. Bosley with a couple of huge strikeouts. Post a scoreless seven. Mason Miller comes out of the bullpen to work for the A. He's six for six in save opportunities. 02. Well, all well that ends well, right? That's it. There's that soul snatching slider from the Reaper. One down. Miller's one two pitch tipped on leg. There's his glove. Backto back strikeouts for Miller. Just abusive. Here's Jock Peterson coming off the bench. The pitch by Mason is driven to center. Blade going back. Still going back over the shoulder over his head. One hopping the wall. Peterson's going to second. The relay throw and the slide. And he is safe at second base on a bang bang play. The call stands. The runner safe. Athletics lose their counter. And Jock Peterson against one of the premier closers in the game has snapped his 041 with a double to straightaway center field. And now it's him. One strike away from their 11th win. The Reaper does his best work of the night. Absolutely freezes Joe and the A's win five to2.
