SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Jonah Heim's RBI single tied the game, Lawrence Butler
followed with a go-ahead RBI hit and the Athletics scored four times with two
out in the ninth inning Thursday, rallying for a 9-6 win over the San Francisco
Giants.
Henry Bolte opened the ninth with an infield single off Caleb Kilian (2-4).
After Bolte advanced to second on a wild pitch, Kilian got two outs before
walking Tyler Soderstrom. Heim then singled down the left-field line to score
Bolte and tie the game at 6. Butler put the Athletics ahead with a single to
right that scored Soderstrom. After Butler stole second, Max Muncy's bloop
single to left scored two more runs and gave the Athletics a 9-6 edge.
The A's had led 2-1 in the sixth before Jung Hoo Lee hit a go-ahead, three-run
triple with two outs and Victor Bericoto followed with a two-run homer, his
third, to put San Francisco ahead 6-2.
Bericoto had hit a game-ending solo homer in the Giants' 2-1 win Wednesday
night.
In Thursday's series finale, the Athletics got a two-run single from Shea
Langeliers in the seventh and an RBI single from Jeff McNeil in the eighth to
set up their comeback in the ninth. McNeil had three of the Athletics' 15 hits.
Geoff Hartlieb (1-0) threw two scoreless innings for his second career victory.
Mason Barnett worked a perfect ninth and picked dup his second save.
San Francisco starter Landen Roupp held the Athletics to two runs on six hits
in six innings. He struck out six and walked one. The Giants have lost each of
Roupp's past 10 starts.
