Jake Fraley's bases-loaded, two-out line drive hit first base and bounced over the head of Ryan Noda for a go-ahead, two-run single in the top of the ninth inning Saturday afternoon, delivering the visiting Cincinnati Reds from the jaws of defeat to a 3-2 victory over the host Oakland Athletics.
Luke Maile homered for the Reds, who had trailed 2-1 from the third inning until Fraley's difference-making hit in the ninth.
The loss was the fifth straight overall and ninth in a row at home for Oakland, which took a 2-0 lead in the second on consecutive RBI singles by Aledmys Diaz and Jordan Diaz. An inning-opening error by Reds third baseman Nick Senzel had set the stage for the scoring, resulting in two unearned runs on the ledger of starter Hunter Greene.
But Muller and three relievers put up all zeroes from there until walks to Henry Ramos and Senzel, sandwiching an infield single by Kevin Newman, loaded the bases with one out in the ninth against Jeurys Familia .
