Another epic comeback fell just short as the Giants scored three runs in the seventh to tie the game, but the A’s took the lead back in the eighth and held the Giants scoreless in the last two frames.
The offense was unable to get anything clicking against the A’s pitching staff early despite having a lot of regulars in the San Francisco Giants lineup.
Oakland jumped out to a 4-run lead after scoring two in the first and two in the second off Jeff Samardzija and Kraig Sitton respectively. The bullpen was great after that until the eighth inning when Andrew Suarez gave up a run on 2 hits and 3 walks.
