Game #135: A’s blow big lead, lose on Marcus Semien walk-off homer

What fresh new horror did the 2021 Oakland A’s season bring on Friday?

Brace yourselves for this one. The A’s took an 8-2 lead into the 8th inning but blew it, then retook the lead in the 9th, and then lost on a walk-off homer by former teammate Marcus Semien. The final score was 11-10 in favor of the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Yikes. Right when the A’s need every win they can get to stay in the postseason race, they dropped a game that you absolutely can’t lose. Their lineup was great, racking up double-digit scoring.
