Rangers' Colby Lewis: Loses to Athletics Sunday

Lewis allowed three runs on three hits and five walks across 5.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Athletics. He struck out four.

Lewis struggled with his command Sunday, tossing just 52 percent of his pitches for strikes, and he allowed the A's to take the lead for good with a two-run rally in the sixth inning before he was pulled from the game. Lewis is a candidate to nail down the third spot in the rotation during the postseason, but he will need to shake off the rust, as he was making just his second start since late June on Sunday. He will have the opportunity to get back on track Saturday against this same Oakland club.
