Strange is the first adjective that comes to mind. In the finale of a really exciting series, many of the high leverage plays were just plain strange.
The A's went down quickly in the top of the first, although not before a long Jed Lowrie out that Steven Souza caught leaping into the wall. Though it served as something of an omen of struggles to come, Jesse Hahn worked around walking the first two hitters in the bottom of the first (thanks in part to an beautiful Pinder-Lowrie double play).
The A's jumped out in front in the second.
