For the second day in a row, the A’s pull out a come from behind victory over their rivals in the AL West, the Somewhere Angels from Some Other Place. The A’s trailed 0-4 going into the bottom of the 7th, but scored four times to tie the game. Then, in the bottom of the ninth with Kendell on third, Crosby on second, and two outs, Anaheim reliever Francisco Rodriguez was getting a toss back from the catcher, but it ticked off his glove and rolled behind him. Kendell was alert, and bolted for home, and scored on a slide ahead of the throw of the recovered ball. The box score reads:

J. Kendall scored on fielder’s indifference, B. Crosby to second on F. Rodriguez’s fielding error

The A’s lead their division for the first time this year.

Rockin’.
