OAKLAND, Calif. -- Some 90 minutes after his impressive night was through, Oakland rookie Sean Manaea waited on a clubhouse couch watching the innings wear on and hoped Coco Crisp would deliver when his chance came.
The pitcher went "crazy" when Crisp singled home the winning run in the 13th inning for his eighth career game-ending RBI, and the Athletics beat the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Friday night.
Ryon Healy doubled to start the rally against Dylan Floro (0-1), and both Healy and Crisp tossed their batting helmets in the air after the win that took 3 hours, 31 minutes.
