His high-bouncing ground ball evaded the trusty glove of Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford in the bottom of the 10th, bouncing into center field and allowing Marcus Semien to score with ease from second with two outs.
The A’s (57-43) walked off against their Bay Area foe for the second straight day in extra innings, this time for a 6-5 win that kept them within three games of the American League’s second Wild Card berth.
