Tyler Soderstrom is sitting on Wendesday, but Mark Kotsay gave an idea of when he'll be back in the A's lineup. Plus, when Ginn will make his next start.
arlos Cortes had a two-run triple in the first inning, reliever Justin Sterner escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam to preserve a one-run lead in the sixth and the Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 in the rubber game of their series Sunday.
A line drive clocked at 107.8 mph from the Athletics' Carlos Cortes was hit directly at Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert and somehow got lodged in his jersey.
