The A’s went the walk-off fashion for the second evening in a row, beating the rival Mariners at the last second to send the fans home happy and give the A’s their 61st win of the season.
Facing a Seattle lineup that’s struggled all year (29th out of 30 teams in OPS) rookie righty JT Ginn got the ball for game two, making his second career start. His first one saw him locked in early before fading late but it was the exact opposite story for Ginn tonight. Seattle collected three straight hits to open this game up, with the big hit of the inning coming off the bat of Seattle backstop Cal Raleigh that brought in two runs.
