The Oakland A’s had plenty of chances to even up the 2021 Bay Bridge Series on Saturday, but they couldn’t quite put away the San Francisco Giants.
The A’s took the lead three times, including in the top of the 10th inning, but the Giants always had an answer en route to a 6-5 walk-off at Oracle Park.

Through the first six innings, the two teams played to a draw, each scoring a pair of runs off each other’s starting pitchers. Oakland opened the scoring in the 3rd by capitalizing on some Giants mistakes, as Elvis Andrus singled, advanced to second on an error by the outfielder, moved to third on a productive groundout, and scored on a wild pitch.
