OAKLAND — The A’s sent their fans on an emotional roller coaster featuring happiness, anger and ecstasy all in the span of one inning Tuesday.
After booing Santiago Casilla off the mound in the eighth inning for blowing Chris Smith’s shot at his first win since 2008 and first of his career, the crowd of 13,875 fans at the Coliseum was sent into a frenzy after the A’s completed another one one of their late-inning comebacks that have become very common at home this season in a 10-8 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Matt Joyce was responsible for the madness.
