It took 10 innings, and the Athletics left 13 men on base. Aaron Civale threw 5 innings of 1-hit ball and didn't figure in the decision. Salvador Perez's 5th homer tied it in the 6th — 107.3 mph off the bat, 425 feet. In the 10th, Justin Sterner gave up 3 runs, the last three on Bobby Witt Jr.'s 2nd homer of the year — a shot to right center that scored Nick Loftin and Kyle Isbel. Lucas Erceg got the save with a 1-2-3 bottom of the inning.
