It took one inning longer than expected, but the Oakland A’s finished off the sweep in Anaheim.
The A’s beat the Los Angeles Angels by a 3-2 margin on Sunday, but not without some late drama. Oakland blew yet another save in the 9th inning, then came through in the 10th to retake the lead and earn the victory in extras.
There were three distinct acts to this game. The first act was what we’re hoping to see more of, with A’s starter Frankie Montas outdueling a top opponent in Shohei Ohtani. The second act was our recently recurring nightmare, as the bullpen coughed up the late lead.
