After losing their series opener Thursday against the Kansas City Royals, the Oakland A’s bounced right back on Friday, and along the way they busted a few individual slumps.
The A’s blew a 3-0 lead but charged back in the bottom of the 9th to earn a walk-off victory over the Royals, providing an alternate ending to a game that had all the ingredients of the previous night’s frustrating loss.
On Thursday, Oakland took an early lead but let the Royals overpower them in the late innings. On Friday, the A’s took an early lead and once again let Kansas City storm back in the late innings, but this time the visitors were only able to tie it up rather than take full control.
