Game #156: A’s walk off again, sweep Astros

The Oakland A’s played their last home game of 2021 on Sunday, and they went out with a bang.

The A’s won 4-3 on a walk-off in the 9th inning, completing a sweep of the division-leading Houston Astros. The series of victories means the Astros will have to wait to clinch the AL West title, and won’t celebrate at the Coliseum.

Oakland trailed in the late innings, but they scratched out two runs in the 7th, capped with an RBI infield single by Mark Canha to tie the score. In the 9th they loaded the bases, and Canha came through again with a rocket to the wall to drive in the game-winner.
