The Oakland A’s are the masters of comebacks this year. They’ve already had 14 games this season in which they’ve been trailing in the 7th inning or later but charged back to take the lead and steal the victory. Twice they’ve been down to their last strike and still found a way to come out on top. No lead is safe, at least until the final out is squeezed.
Even with all of these heroics, the A’s took it up to the next level this week. On Tuesday they were behind by eight runs entering the 7th, but they reeled off 11 unanswered to shock the Rangers.
