Fewer than 24 hours after blowing the team’s latest, largest lead in 90-plus years, the Giants managed to ... blow a late lead! Fantastic! The inaugural 2020 Pandemic Bay Bridge Series was the true plague all along.
The A’s hit a lead-erasing home run off of Trevor Gott in the top of the inning for the second straight game. The only kindness this time around was that the lead was not as large, so the ninth-inning home run put the A’s on top, rather than just tying the game and prolonging the agony.
The Athletics took the first two games and clinched the series win with a 7-6 victory on Saturday evening.
