OAKLAND, Calif. -- Robinson Chirinos, Ryan Rua and Elvis Andrus hit home runs, and left-hander Martin Perez won his fifth straight start as the Texas Rangers defeated the Oakland A's 10-6 on Tuesday night at Oakland Coliseum.
The Rangers beat Oakland for the first time in five tries this season -- all at the Coliseum -- and ended the A's season-high six-game home winning streak.
Perez (6-4) gave up four runs and nine hits in seven innings while striking out two and walking none. He hasn't lost a game since May 18, an 8-1 defeat to Oakland at the Coliseum. Perez had lost nine straight decisions on the road before ending that skid Tuesday.
Chirinos hit a three-run homer in the second inning, Rua had a solo shot in the third and Andrus added a solo blast in the eighth.
Andrus went 3-for-5, drove in two runs and scored twice. Run went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and scored twice. He raised his batting average to .300.
A's left-hander Eric Surkamp (0-4), who was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Nashville, gave up seven runs and seven hits, including two home runs, in 2 1/3 innings. He's winless in seven starts for the A's this season and has lost has past seven major league starts.
Khris Davis went 2-for-4 with a double, drove in two runs and scored once for the A's.
The A's s trailed 7-1 after three innings but scored three times in the sixth against Perez, cutting Texas' lead to 7-4. Oakland had four hits in the rally, including an RBI single by Davis and a run-scoring double by Josh Phegley. Billy Butler drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
Andrus lined a home run to left with one out in the seventh, increasing the Rangers' lead to 8-4. Rua had and RBI single in the ninth, driving in Ian Desmond, who led off with a double. Prince Fielder brought Rua home with a double.
Yonder Alonso hit a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth for Oakland.
The Rangers scored a run in the first inning, three in the second and three in the third to build a 7-1 lead.
Surkamp walked Roughned Odor with one out in the third then gave up a single to Elvis Andrus, bringing Chirinos to the plate. Chirinos fell behind 0-2 in the count but crushed Surkamp's hanging curve over the left field fence. Chirinos (right forearm fracture) was reinstated from the disabled list on Thursday and played in just his ninth game of the season.
Rua led off the third inning with his sixth home run of the season and second in two days to make it 5-1 Rangers. Andrus had an RBI single and Shin-Soo Choo a bases-loaded walk in the inning, increasing Texas' lead to 7-1.
Oakland's Khris Davis hit an RBI double in the first inning, driving in Billy Burns, who led off with a single.
NOTES: A's rookie LHP Sean Manaea was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left pronator strain in his pitching forearm. An MRI revealed no ligament damage, A's manager Bob Melvin said. "It's muscular and minor," Melvin said. "Being cautious, put him on the DL." ... Rangers RHP Tom Wilhelmsen was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock and replaced on the 25-man roster by RHP Nick Martinez, who was recalled from Round Rock. Wilhelmsen is 2-3 with a 10.55 ERA in 21 relief appearances. ... Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre (strained left hamstring) was out of the lineup for the sixth straight game. Texas manager Jeff Banister is targeting Thursday's game against Oakland for Beltre's return. ... A's RHP Liam Hendriks (right triceps strain) allowed one run and one hit in 1 1/3 innings of relief in a rehab outing for Triple-A Nashville on Monday and will make another appearance on Thursday for Nashville. "Everything's going well with him," Melvin said.
