Unfortunately, the Athletics came roaring back in the 4th inning. They managed to load the bases and capitalized, scoring four runs to take the lead 4-2. Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, JJ Bleday, and Shea Langeliers all found ways to get on base and bring their teammates home.Adames' Solo Shot Gives Hope
In the 7th inning, Willy Adames brought us some hope with a solo homer to left, narrowing the gap to 4-3. Sadly, that would be the last run we'd score. Garrett Mitchell came in as a pinch runner but was caught stealing, which stymied our momentum.Couldn't Get the Big Hits When Needed
