Game #136: A’s comeback attempt falls short

The Oakland A’s scored five runs in the 9th inning on Saturday. Unfortunately they needed seven.

The A’s put together a heck of a comeback attempt at the end, but it wasn’t quite enough as they fell 10-8 to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Last night the Blue Jays stunned Oakland with a six-run comeback and an eventual victory, and the A’s came close to returning the favor today. The score was 10-3 entering the 9th, until the first five batters of the inning scored — Mark Canha drilled a three-run homer and Sean Murphy followed with a two-run blast, all with nobody out.
