THE A’S WALK IT OFF! IT TOOK TWELVE INNINGS, BUT THE A’S WALK IT OFF!
A home run by Ramon Laureano and strong work by the bullpen kept the A’s in the game long enough to set up Matt Chapman’s ridiculously exciting game-winning, walk-off home run in the bottom of the twelfth inning to open the series with a Friday night win for the A’s.
Happy Friday and Mother’s Day weekend to those of you who are mothers, support a mother, or have a mother. For the Oakland NBA fans among us, we also extend congratulations to the Golden State Warriors, who secured a trip to the Western Conference Finals tonight for the fifth consecutive time.
