ARLINGTON, Texas - Josh Reddick drove in three runs, Scott Kazmir won for the first time in seven starts and the Oakland Athletics moved oh so close to finally clinching their third consecutive playoff berth.After snapping a three-game skid with a 6-2 victory Friday night at Texas, the As needed only one more win a€” or a loss by the Seattle Mariners a€” to clinch an American League wild card. Kansas City clinched earlier in the evening.When the As finished their game, they gathered in the visitors clubhouse to watch Seattle play at home against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels. But Seattle won 4-3, pushing Oakland to its 161st of 162 games still without a spot in the playoffs.Were just going to go out there and play these last couple of games and hopefully make it in there, Kazmir said.Reddick led off the fourth with his 12th homer, and an inning later added a two-run single to make it 6-1.Adam Dunn, the big designated hitter batting in the No. 2 spot for the first time since June 2008, had a two-run double in the third for Oakland (87-73). Dunn, in his 14th major league season, was acquired by the As on Aug. 31 and is looking to get to the playoffs for the first time.The As were a season-best 28 games over .500 and had a four-game lead in the AL West on Aug. 10. But they lost 29 of their next 43 games before Friday night.Weve been saying all weve got to do is get in and these last two months weve forgotten, Reddick said. Thats all we got to worry about now.Texas had its five-game winning streak snapped. Only their second loss in 14 games assured the Rangers (66-94) will finish fifth in the AL West after Houston (70-90) won at the New York Mets on Friday night.Nick Tepesch (5-11) allowed six runs and six hits, with four walks, in 4 1-3 innings.Kazmir (15-9) struck out five without a walk while limiting the Rangers to two runs (one earned) and four hits over seven innings.Its been a long time coming it feels like, Kazmir said. Just feels good.The lefty was 0-4 with an 8.58 ERA his previous six starts since his last win Aug. 19. The 15 wins are a career high, but only four of those have come since the All-Star break.Texas led 1-0 right away, when Leonys Martin had a leadoff single, stole second and scored on Ryan Ruas double. But Kazmir then retired 10 in a row, and the Rangers didnt score again until an unearned run in the fifth.Martins RBI grounder drove in Rougned Odour, who reached after first baseman Brandon Moss error when he threw behind Kazmir, who was going to cover first baseJOLTED JOSHAs 3B Josh Donaldson landed hard on his left knee trying to make a backhanded stab of a grounder by Elvis Andrus that went foul in the third inning. After falling on his stomach and rolling over, Donaldson grabbed the back of his knee and hopped around momentarily when getting to his feet.I didnt hear anything pop, which is good, he said. I tried to get back up and walk everything off, but it was just kind of, at the time, just pain.Donaldson sat back on the ground while being tended to by a trainer, and eventually got up and played the rest of the game. He was clearly not running full speed when he singled and eventually scored in the fifth inning.With the hamstring thing Ive been having too, the toughest part about running is just trying to push off that leg. So with the knee on top of that, the left leg just wasnt really working, he said. If I can move, Im going to try to be out there.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Jeff Samardzija, another midseason addition, is set to start the potential playoff-clinching game. He is 2-2 in his past six starts despite a 1.40 ERA.Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (2-0) makes his sixth and final start after missing the first five months of the season rehabbing from microfracture surgery on his left knee.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: OF Craig Gentry, who hasnt played since sustaining a concussion in a game Sept. 9, felt good a day after watching some pitches in the bullpen and getting on the field.Rangers: Interim manager Tim Bogar would like to get OF Jim Adduci in a game this weekend. Just make sure that hes mentally OK with everything before he leaves here, Bogar said. Adduci sustained a concussion Aug. 28 and is still dealing with a pinkie issue. Cheap Ken Griffey Jersey .

You can watch all the action on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 tonight beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. You can also listen to the game on TSN Radio. Two seasons ago the Seahawks and Redskins were both up-and-coming teams with tremendous rookie quarterbacks in Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. Since Seattle upset Washington in the wild-card round, however, the teams fortunes have been trending in opposite directions. RG3, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, led the Redskins to the NFC East title in his freshman campaign, while Wilson, the 75th overall selection that same year, piloted the Seahawks to a wild card berth. Washington built an early two-touchdown lead in the playoff encounter before Wilson and Co. responded with 24 consecutive points to advance. To make matters even worse for the Skins, Griffin tore both an ACL and LCL in the game and has never been the same physically. Fast forward a year and Washington finished 3-13, firing Mike Shanahan in favor of current coach Jay Gruden and the Seahawks won the franchises first Lombardi Trophy. Cousins, Washingtons interim starter while RG3 convalesces from his latest injury (a dislocated ankle), was brilliant in his first 2014 start, albeit in a loss at Philadelphia. Not so much the second time around as the New York Giants confused and rattled the third-year signal caller during a 45-14 drubbing of the Redskins back on Sept. 25. After finishing 30-of-48 for a career-high 427 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles, Cousins came back down to earth versus the Giants, connecting on just 19-of-33 with a touchdown and a career-high four interceptions -- all in the second half.dddddddddddd He also lost a fumble. Sometimes you need to play through some of these ruts, Gruden said. As a quarterback, hes a guy thats going to have to lead us the next few weeks. We need him to pull himself out of this and keep his head up. Things really fell apart for Washington in the third quarter, where Cousins fired three of his picks. Alfred Morris, meanwhile, carried the ball 12 times for 63 yards and a score for the Redskins, who have lost their last two games. Seattle comes in even more well-rested than the Redskins, last playing on Sept. 21 when they won a Super Bowl XLVIII rematch by outlasting the Denver Broncos, 26-20, in overtime. Marshawn Lynch ran for a touchdown in the extra frame as the Seahawks thwarted Denvers attempts at revenge from a 43-8 drubbing in the big game this past February. The contest marked just the sixth time that there has been a rematch in the regular season of the previous Super Bowl opponents. Lynch finished with 88 yards on 26 carries, while adding three catches for 40 yards and a score for the Seahawks, who bounced back from a Week 2 loss at San Diego. Wilson completed 24-for-34 passed for 258 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the win. It was a tremendous game, Wilson said. It was a battle. The Redskins lead their all-time, regular-season series with Seattle by an 11-4 margin but Seattle has been the better team on Monday nights, compiling a 20-8 mark overall, including eight wins in a row. Washington is underwater at 27-36 in the national showcase.
