OAKLAND, Calif. — Sleep-deprived Kurt Suzuki came off the paternity leave list and delivered a go-ahead single for Oakland. Suzuki left Anaheim on Wednesday to return to the Bay Area, where his wife, Renee, gave birth to the couple's first child Thursday morning. Trevor Cahill overcame a three-walk first inning to pitch seven scoreless innings against the Rangers, who kicked off a seven-game West Coast road trip, all against division opponents, by losing for the fourth time in five games.
