Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the fifth inning, and the Texas bullpen pitched no-hit ball the rest of the way Wednesday night, helping the Rangers close out a losing homestand with a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics in Arlington, Texas.

The A's had a four-game winning streak snapped despite a two-run home run by Khris Davis, his seventh of the season.

The Rangers trailed 2-1 before Jurickson Profar ignited the fifth-inning rally with a two-out double. He scored the tying run on a single by Nomar Mazara.

After A's starter Kendall Graveman walked Joey Gallo, Kiner-Falefa came through with a single to right-center field, scoring Mazara with the eventual winning run.

Jesse Chavez, Alex Claudio and Chris Martin shut out the A's over the next three innings to retain the one-run lead before Ronald Guzman gave Rangers closer Keone Kela a two-run cushion with an RBI single that scored Kiner-Falefa in the eighth.

Kela recorded his fourth save with a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out two.

Chavez (1-0), who relieved starter Doug Fister with two outs in the fifth inning, threw 1 1/3 innings and was credited with the win.

All told, Chavez, Claudio, Martin and Kela faced 13 batters over the final 4 1/3 innings, and only one reached base. A throwing error by third baseman Kiner-Falefa put Marcus Semien on second to start the eighth inning against Martin.

However, Martin got hot-hitting Jed Lowrie to fly out to center field, which resulted in a double play when Delino DeShields threw out Semien trying to advance to third base.

Graveman (0-5) became the American League's first five-game loser, allowing three runs and six hits in six innings. He walked four and struck out seven.

Davis' homer came off Fister in the third inning. It followed a single by Semien and gave Oakland a 2-0 lead.

Juan Centeno's fielder's choice grounder scored Gallo, who had singled, to get the Rangers within 2-1 in the fourth.

Fister went 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He walked three and struck out three.

Gallo went 3-for-3 and Guzman finished with a pair of hits for the Rangers, who completed a six-game homestand with a 2-4 record.

Semien had two of Oakland's four hits, a pair of singles, as the A's saw a three-game road win streak come to an end.

The Rangers out-hit the A's 8-4.
