Game #56: A’s come back, force extras, take lead, lose anyway

The Oakland A’s almost stole one on Monday, but they gave it right back at the last moment.

The A’s came back from an early deficit to force extra innings and then took the lead in the 10th, but couldn’t hold on and dropped a 6-5 heartbreaker to the Seattle Mariners. In the bottom of the bonus frame, Seattle stormed back and capitalized on an Oakland error to plate the walk-off run.

This was a weird day from the very beginning. The first pitch of the game pegged Mark Canha for a leadoff HBP, and the second pitch was tapped for a double play.
