An unusual light filled the Oakland Coliseum Wednesday evening. An orange haze that wasn’t sunny, a type of daylight that wouldn’t require sunglasses.
Under a disorienting dome of smoke unlike anything seen in the Bay Area before, the A’s and Astros played a tense came that came down to Ramón Laureano’s walk-off hit in the ninth inning, completing a late comeback and the A’s 3-2 win. The A’s are 5.5 games up on the Astros in the AL West.
Jesús Luzardo’s fourth pitch of the game nearly did him in.
