A's Stephen Piscotty reveals how pitch sequence led to game-tying slam

Stephen Piscotty's flair for the dramatic has been on full display early in the 2020 MLB season.

The A's outfielder hit his second grand slam of the season Friday night at Oracle Park, and both have been as clutch as it comes. Just 10 days earlier, Piscotty crushed a walk-off grand slam to dead center to defeat the Texas Rangers. Friday night, after slugger Matt Olson brought the A's within four with a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning, Piscotty again cleared the bases with a ball that just was able to sneak over the left-field wall in McCovey Cove against the Giants, tying the game at seven.
