The Oakland A’s found themselves competing against both their opponent and the umpiring crew on Sunday, but they overcame both in a game that had no shortage of odd moments.
The A’s fell behind early but came back for a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins in their series finale at Target Field. In an appropriate piece of symbolism, the winning run scored on a wild pitch.
We’ve already complained about umpires a lot this year, and it always feel weak to do so. But my goodness, it has become too glaring of a problem to ignore.
