Bay Bridge series finale: With the bases loaded in the 10th inning, three A’s batters strike out
A’s fan Andrew Rodriguez, of Union City, reminds fans how much they’re going to miss the Coliseum as he walks the third deck during the fifth inning of their MLB game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024. OAKLAND – With the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Oakland A’s had a chance to close out the Bay Bridge Series with one more A’s victory in the Coliseum.
Kotsay was in the A’s spacious clubhouse to end the 148th and final matchup between the two Bay Area teams after an eighth-inning blow-up got the third-year manager ejected. A day after Osvaldo Bido took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and on an afternoon that the A’s passed out Vida Blue bobbleheads, Sears gave The Town one more great pitching performance in the last edition of the Bay Bridge Series.
Facing Blake Snell, the Giants ace who entered Sunday with a 0.99 ERA in his last seven starts, the A’s took until the sixth inning to get on the board. Miguel Andujar lined a single to right and drove in Cameron to break a scoreless deadlock. With former A’s manager Bob Melvin in the Giants dugout, the visitors sent Snell out for the seventh, and he promptly loaded the bases with a single and two walks with one out.
The A’s batters, which entered the game ranked seventh in MLB in home runs with 154, didn’t show much power against the red-hot Snell. Oakland didn’t record its first hit until Schuemann plopped a soft single into left with two outs in the third.
