Alonso's walk-off homer caps A's comeback

OAKLAND -- Yonder Alonso hit a solo homer with one out in the 12th to give the A's their second straight walk-off win over the Twins, 6-5, Sunday at the Coliseum.

Alonso finished the day a triple short of the cycle by blasting a first-pitch Tyler Duffey changeup to right field for his third career walk-off and second career walk-off homer. It gave the A's nine walk-off wins in 2017, the most in the American League.

With two outs in the eighth, A's rookie Matt Chapman connected on a Ryan Pressly fastball and roped a double over left fielder Eddie Rosario's head, scoring Ryon Healy and Rajai Davis to tie the game.
