OAKLAND, Calif. — Jacob Wilson's single with one out in the ninth inning gave the Oakland Athletics a 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in the opener of their final series at the Coliseum. Zack Gelof stole second after leading the inning off with a single, and Wilson hit the first pitch he saw off Josh Sborz into center field to win the game. A loud "Sell the team! Sell the team!" chant rang out in the eighth inning and again when Wilson was being interviewed after the winning hit from the announced crowd of 30,402.
