ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Oakland Athletics missed out this weekend on gaining ground to host the AL wild-card game.
Khris Davis hit a grand slam in the ninth inning but the Athletics again came up short, beaten by the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Sunday.
"It was good to see on a day that looks like we're dragging a little bit or a little bit flat to be able to put up a four-spot like that," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.
The A's remained 1 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the top AL wild-card spot.
