OAKLAND — An eight-run eighth-inning secured the Giants’ 10-5 win over the Oakland A’s on Saturday night, tilting the Bay Bridge Trophy one game toward San Francisco.
Chris Bassitt held the Giants to one hit through his first four innings before Brandon Crawford hit an opposite field solo shot in the fifth.
Down to his final strike in the sixth with a runner in scoring position, Evan Longoria tied the game up with an RBI single. It kicked Bassitt out of the game, he allowed those two runs with five strikeouts and no walks.
Against Madison Bumgarner last week, the A’s could only muster one run on Stephen Piscotty’s homer.
