OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Robinson Chirinos and Rougned Odor both homered twice as the Texas Rangers rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat the Oakland Athletics 7-5 on Wednesday night.

Texas has homered 17 times in the first six games of a 10-game road trip.

The A's lost for the ninth time in 11 games.

Three of Chirinos' four homers on the season have come in the last two days. Chirinos hit a solo homer off A's reliever John Axford (3-2) in the top of the seventh inning that broke a 5-5 tie.
