OAKLAND — Another see-saw affair at the Oakland Coliseum ended in defeat for the A’s, who extended their season-high losing streak to eight games Tuesday night.
A day after the A’s spoiled a two-out game-tying home run from Matt Olson in the ninth, the team lost an 8-7 10-inning heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Angeles, cementing their longest-losing streak since the spring of 2012.
Ben Revere delivered the game-winning hit, pinch hitting with two outs in the ninth. Matt Joyce nearly caught Revere’s line drive to left that scored Kaleb Cowart from second, diving belly first onto the grass, but he couldn’t keep the ball in the webbing of his glove.
