The A’s took an 8-2 lead into the 8th inning but blew it, then retook the lead in the 9th, and then lost on a walk-off homer by former teammate Marcus Semien.
Right when the A’s need every win they can get to stay in the postseason race, they dropped a game that you absolutely can’t lose.
Now tonight they were up 8-2 late and let the opponent come back all the way.
What’s worse, this time the decisive blow was leveled by the beloved star who left the A’s last winter as a free agent.
