Athletics Score 4 Times with 2 Out in the 9th Inning, Rally to Beat the Giants 9-6
Jonah Heim and Lawrence Butler drove the comeback as Oakland scored four times with two outs and finished with 15 hits.
- On Thursday, the Athletics rallied for a 9-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants, scoring four runs in the ninth inning at Oracle Park with Jonah Heim tying the game and Lawrence Butler hitting the go-ahead single.
- The Giants built a 6-2 lead after Jung Hoo Lee's three-run triple and Victor Bericoto's 445-foot two-run homer in the sixth, matching his walk-off blast from Wednesday with identical 108.7 mph exit velocity.
- Manager Tony Vitello said 'we gave up a touchdown in the last three innings' after Caleb Kilian allowed four runs in the ninth, while Jeff McNeil drove in key runs with three of the Athletics' 15 hits.
- The Giants fell one out away from their first three-game sweep, while Athletics infielder Zack Gelof was placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a right hand contusion when inadvertently spiked by Matt Chapman on Tuesday.
- Gelof's injury ended a 24-game hitting streak, 27-game on-base streak, and 13-game runs-scored streak—the longest in 93 years—as the Athletics travel to Anaheim Friday to face Angels RHP Walbert Ureña and the Giants host the Braves.
