After dropping a tenth inning walk-off loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Athletics finished off the series today at Oracle Park. Today’s game closed the books on this weekend’s MLB Rivalry Series.
After loading the bases in the top of the first but being held off the scoreboard, Heliot Ramos homered on the first pitch of the bottom of the first to straight-away center field. At the end of one, the Giants led 1-0. Springs has been effective with his pitch count, tossing just twenty-two in the first two innings.
The A’s took the lead in the top of the fourth.
