After a season filled with dramatic
comebacks and memorable endings, the Oakland Athletics now expect the
unexpected, winning the game to force it to Game 5 from Detroit Tigers.
Two runs down and three outs away from their season ending, the Athletics’ staged their most magical win yet.
Seth Smith hit a game-tying two-run
double off closer Jose Valverde in the ninth inning and Coco Crisp
capped Oakland’s rally with a two-out RBI single as the A’s staved off
elimination for a second straight night with a 4-3 victory over the
Detroit Tigers in Game 4 Wednesday night.
The Athletics’ rode a major
league-leading 14 walkoff wins in the regular season to an improbable AL
West title. Those paled in comparison to No. 15, which set up a
win-or-go-home Game 5 against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.
