    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, May 11, 2011 Oakland A's, Brett Anderson lose 7-2 to Texas Rangers By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune ARLINGTON, Texas -- Brett Anderson's night was a washout even before the rain hit Tuesday night. The A's left-hander has impressed this season, but the sight of a Texas Ranger digging into the batter's box brings out his worst. Anderson was gone after 42/3 innings, and a 59-minute rain delay in the sixth inning did nothing to halt an A's 7-2 defeat before 31,655 fans at Rangers Ballpark. "Yeah, the Rangers aren't my favorite team to face, that's for sure," Anderson said. "We don't play them again until like, July, so I've got a couple months to get away from them a little bit." In two starts against Texas this season, Anderson in 92/3 innings has allowed 15 hits, 11 earned runs, four homers and eight walks. In six starts against every one else, he's allowed 38 hits, eight earned runs, four walks and zero homers. Call him the anti-Cahill. A night earlier, teammate Trevor Cahill continued his mastery of the Rangers, ringing up his eighth victory in 11 starts. So what gives with Anderson? "For some reason, the Rangers kinda have my number right now," he said. "Maybe if I could turn into a right-handed sinker guy like Trevor, next time will be better." A's second baseman Mark Ellis said: "(He's) got to face them a lot in our division.
