After tying the game with a three-run homer in the sixth, Max Kepler delivered the walk-off in the 10th inning to hand the A’s their seventh straight loss
Mason Miller #19 of the Oakland Athletics reacts to issuing a bases loaded walk against the Minnesota Twins in the eighth inning at Target Field on June 14, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Twins defeated the Athletics 6-5 in ten innings.
Kotsay’s assessment of his club, which is 3-10 in June, is correct. Over the last six days, Oakland has squandered three opportunities to secure a win. Spence, fresh off tossing seven innings of two-run ball, only allowed one run through his first five innings, needing only 65 pitches. In the sixth, the Twins had their equalizer. Spence surrendered a game-tying, three-run home run to Max Kepler, who didn’t initially realize the ball had cleared the fences. Spence recorded one more out before Kotsay went to his bullpen.
“I brought him in a tough situation: bases loaded, Santana’s a tough hitter,” Kotsay said. “Once the error was made behind Lucas, the hit batter and walk. That’s three free bases there. … Bringing Mason in there, trying to go for a strikeout. Obviously, the walk is not something that he has done in the past, but then he executes two outs and we get out of a big jam.”
“Really tough loss,” Kotsay said. “This stretch, we’ve given some games away, really. These guys, they’re giving everything they have, but … we’ve got to make plays.”Harriette Cole: I asked my boyfriend if he’s gay, and he got madMotorcyclist dies after lane splitting on I-580 in Livermore
