The Oakland A’s were two outs away from winning on Tuesday, but it all fell apart at the last minute.
The A’s dropped a 10-7 decision to the Tampa Bay Rays in 10 innings at the Coliseum, extending their losing streak to five games.
This one was right out of the 2021 playbook. Oakland struck early, scoring five runs in the 1st inning including a grand slam, and from there they controlled the contest for most of the evening. However, their bats went silent and never added any insurance, while their bullpen held on just long enough to give up the lead at the very end.
