Madson (0-3) gave up an earned run on two hits in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Called on in the seventh with the Athletics clinging to a 4-3 lead, Madson gave up an RBI double to Elvis Andrus, although that run went on Kendall Graveman's ledger. However, Madson followed up by allowing a bloop single to Nomar Mazara that gave the Rangers a 5-4 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. The former closer hadn't given up a run since April 25 prior to Sunday, a stretch of six appearances. Despite the stumble, the veteran right-hander has compiled a 1.98 ERA and four holds while also recording a save. If current ninth-inning man Santiago Casilla's struggles extend beyond his rough outing last Friday, Madson could conceivably see some save chances in the near future.
