In June and July, the Oakland A’s often found themselves falling one play short of turning a loss into win. They’re not having that problem so far in August.
The A’s fell behind early on Tuesday and got only five outs from their starting pitcher, but they battled back to tie it up in the 8th and then pushed across a run in the 10th. There are a thousand ways they could have lost this game, but instead they did just enough to beat the Cleveland Indians 4-3 at Progressive Field and earn their fifth straight victory.
By the end of two innings, it appeared this might not be the A’s night.
