Chirinos fell behind 0-2 in the count but crushed Surkamp's hanging curve over the left field fence.

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.
