So Leonys Martin is definitely the new Johnny Giavotella. He hit that back-breaking walkoff home run against Ryan Madson last year, and he did it again tonight. He of the .171/.209/.465 (that’s OPS, not isolated slugging) in 2017. We are the only team in baseball that cannot shut him down.
It’s a shame, too, because the A’s had every chance to win this game. They accrued an early-ish 6-2 lead and just needed to coast, but a relentless Seattle offense and a hapless Oakland defense combined to send the game into extra innings where Leonys could work his magic.
