A’s set record for largest attendance in MLB this year, defeat Giants in extras

OAKLAND — It was as if the Coliseum hopped into a time machine that was set to the early 2000s. The stadium was packed, even Mount Davis, and the A’s treated the raucous home crowd with a finish that sent them into a frenzy.

On a night where Mount Davis was re-opened to the public for the first time in 13 years, 56,310 fans packed the house to set the record for the largest crowd ever at the Coliseum, as well as the largest attendance for a MLB game this season, to watch Jonathan Lucroy walk it off for a 4-3 victory over the Giants in 11 innings Saturday night.
