The Oakland A’s just keep inventing ways to lose.
After the first inning of tonight’s game against the Minnesota Twins, it looked like the A’s could be on their way to the offensive onslaught they’ve desperately needed for weeks thanks to a Shea Langeliers grand slam. Instead, their offense would do what they do far too often and stall.
Seven innings later the A’s were sweating a one-run lead on defense with the bases loaded and two innings after that, they were on the losing end of another walk-off — the third time in the last four games.
