They almost pulled it off again, for the second game in a row.
After a thrilling comeback walk-off win on Friday night, the Oakland A’s entered the final frame on Saturday afternoon trailing by two runs but couldn’t quite catch the Cleveland Indians this time in a 3-2 defeat. They got close, putting the tying run in scoring position and the winning run on first base, but they needed one more clutch hit to seal the deal.
Both starting pitchers kept things pretty quiet. The A’s scored in the 1st inning, on back-to-back doubles by Matt Olson and Mitch Moreland, but wasted a few chances too.
