((HT: MLB/CSN))
Nate Freiman ended the Oakland-Yankees game this way today...
The Athletics are the 2nd team in Major League Baseball history to win 2 games this way in the 18th inning or later in same season- the other is the 1967 Yankees...
Fun stats from the 3-2 win:
Yankee pitchers threw 11 perfect innings
Oakland pitchers no-hit the Yankees 3-6 hitters- going 0 for 28
The A's won their 11th in a row at home, 21st in 26 overall, and moved a season-best 14 games above .500.
It's still their best start since since 1990.
They became the first AL team to play two 18-inning games in one season since Oakland and the Washington Senators did it 1971.
The game went 5 hours and 35 minutes...
Each team used seven pitchers and threw 255 pitches.
137 batters came to the plate- still 19 short of the season high of 156 during Oakland's 19-inning win over the Angels and the 20-inning game between the Marlins and Mets last Saturday...
Oh, the other event it reminded us of...???
