June 10 at O.Co Coliseum in Oakland, CA
Comcast Sportsnet
Oakland came into the night on a four-game losing streak, but rallied from three runs down to win 5-4 on a walk-off fielder's choice.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Athletics got a run on an error, then Billy Butler's chopper found a hole between third and shortstop and the game was tied at 4-4. The ninth-inning rally against rookie Keone Kela included three balls in play, only one of which left the infield, starting with a one-out Sam Fuld single. Fuld then stole second and Billy Burns reached on a single to put runners at first and third. Josh Reddick hit a sharp ground ball that Adam Rosales dove for and caught at second base, but his throw wasn't close to get a sliding Fuld at the plate and Oakland evened the three-game series at one game apiece.
Ray Fosse, Part 1
In the top of the second, Fosse was talking about base stealers and the topic of Rickey Henderson came up. Here's Fosse: "Rickey probably could still steal a base."
No, Ray. No he probably couldn't.
First of all, Rickey Henderson is 56 years old. And secondly, stop it. Because if Rickey was watching the broadcast and heard what you said he might try and make a comeback.
Ray Fosse, Part 2
Fuld was up with two on in the bottom of the fourth. Fosse: "...and everybody else respecting the possible power from Fuld."
Ray: Sam Fuld hasn't yet hit a home run in 155 plate appearances after Wednesday's game and has 10 home runs in over 1,300 career plate appearances. His slugging percentage this season is .281.
"Everybody else" seems like an awful lot of people respecting Sam Fuld's power.
