OAK Runs: 5, Hits: 8, Errors: 0

Oakland lead series 1-0

WHAT A GAME! I came home in the bottom of the ninth and got into the house just in time to see Durazo hit that blooper into left field. It was great. And then extra inning agony! I don’t think Derek Lowe wanted to load the bases in the bottom of the 12th. But he did. And Ramon Hernandez dropped a bunt to score Eric Chavez from third.

GLORIOUS!!! 😀
