Mark Trumbo also went deep for the Angels and added a two-run double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the game dragged on deep into the night, fans who remained in the scattered crowd of 11,668 chanted the names of Oakland's radio announcers, Ray Fosse and Ken Korach. One player in the Angels dugout wore a rally cap folded in half, with the bill sticking straight up like a mohawk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was the A's who finally pulled it out on Moss' two-run shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's one of those things where you just want to quit, but at the same time you don't want to lose so you're not going to quit,\" Moss said. \"You just keep fighting through and keep hoping they throw a ball into your bat.

Anderson entered to start the 13th and pitched 5 1/3 innings before hobbling off the field with an apparent foot injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blevins, the last reliever in the Oakland bullpen, was given as much time as he needed to warm up. He retired Mike Trout and Pujols to end the top of the 18th inning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good game to win, bad game to lose,\" Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. \"I mean, we exhausted everything we had obviously. Blevins probably has one more inning, then you might be looking at Seth Smith on the mound.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moss hit a solo homer in the sixth and the A's scored four times in the eighth, two on Josh Donaldson's single, to close the gap to 7-6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angels reliever Jerome Williams did not allow an earned in six innings. He gave up four hits, walked two and struck out two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tommy Hanson pitched six strong innings for Los Angeles, allowing two runs and five hits. He walked one and struck out a season-high six in his first start since being activated from the bereavement list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Called up to fill in for Anderson, Straily lasted 4 2-3 innings. He gave up six runs on seven hits, walked one and struck out six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pujols homered for the first time in three weeks, when he also hit two at Texas on April 7, a span of 74 at-bats. He had three hits in his previous 31 at-bats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanson pitched for the first time in 10 days. He extended his scoreless innings streak to 11 before allowing a run in the fourth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pujols homered with two outs in the first and Trumbo led off the second with his fourth of the season. He hit it with such force — the drive was estimated at 475 feet — that every A's player remained stationary, not even bothering with a cursory glance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Jaso's RBI single brought the A's to 2-1, but the Angels rallied for four runs in the fifth, with Pujols and Hamilton driving in runs and Trumbo knocking in two with a double. Pujols homered again in the seventh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bourjos went 0 for 4, was hit by a pitch and added a sacrifice bunt, ending his 10-game hitting streak. He was injured running out the bunt in the 10th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It (stinks) to play this long into the night and come out on the wrong end,\" Bourjos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTES: Angels INF Erick Aybar (bruised left heel) had two hits, a double and a home run, in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake. ... RHP Mark Lowe (neck strain) and INF Alberto Callaspo (tight right calf) will start a rehab assignment with Inland Empire on Tuesday. ... RHP Garrett Richards (1-1, 3.65 ERA) starts Tuesday night for the Angels against RHP Jarrod Parker (0-4, 8.10), whose four losses match an Oakland record for April. ... Donaldson was chosen AL player of the week. ... Pujols had his 46th career multihomer game. ... RHP Jesse Chavez was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for Straily. ... Joe Rudi, in 1972, was the last A's player to end a game with a home run in the 19th inning. ... There were 138 at-bats and 589 pitches thrown.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Third baseman Luis Jimenez came out with a bruised left shin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland lost center fielder Coco Crisp to a strained left hamstring and outfielder Chris Young to a strained left quadriceps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brett Anderson was originally scheduled to start for the A's but was scratched with a sore right ankle in favor of Dan Straily. Anderson entered to start the 13th and pitched 5 1/3 innings before hobbling off the field with an apparent foot injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blevins, the last reliever in the Oakland bullpen, was given as much time as he needed to warm up. He retired Mike Trout and Pujols to end the top of the 18th inning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good game to win, bad game to lose,\" Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. \"I mean, we exhausted everything we had obviously. Blevins probably has one more inning, then you might be looking at Seth Smith on the mound.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moss hit a solo homer in the sixth and the A's scored four times in the eighth, two on Josh Donaldson's single, to close the gap to 7-6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angels reliever Jerome Williams did not allow an earned in six innings. He gave up four hits, walked two and struck out two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tommy Hanson pitched six strong innings for Los Angeles, allowing two runs and five hits. He walked one and struck out a season-high six in his first start since being activated from the bereavement list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Called up to fill in for Anderson, Straily lasted 4 2-3 innings. He gave up six runs on seven hits, walked one and struck out six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pujols homered for the first time in three weeks, when he also hit two at Texas on April 7, a span of 74 at-bats. He had three hits in his previous 31 at-bats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanson pitched for the first time in 10 days. He extended his scoreless innings streak to 11 before allowing a run in the fourth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pujols homered with two outs in the first and Trumbo led off the second with his fourth of the season. He hit it with such force — the drive was estimated at 475 feet — that every A's player remained stationary, not even bothering with a cursory glance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Jaso's RBI single brought the A's to 2-1, but the Angels rallied for four runs in the fifth, with Pujols and Hamilton driving in runs and Trumbo knocking in two with a double. Pujols homered again in the seventh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bourjos went 0 for 4, was hit by a pitch and added a sacrifice bunt, ending his 10-game hitting streak. He was injured running out the bunt in the 10th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It (stinks) to play this long into the night and come out on the wrong end,\" Bourjos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Case in point: today's flurry over \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0221-athletics-san-jose-20130221,0,1177347.story\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Shaikin's story in the LA Times\u003c/a> about the latest development in the Oakland A's relocation saga. In brief, Shaikin said that Major League Baseball has given the A's a list of guidelines for a future move to San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikin is clear that this doesn't necessarily mean the A's can or will move -- even the headline contains the words \"tentative\" and \"potential,\" and there's a big old disclaimer in the subhead. But some people are reacting as if the moving trucks have already pulled up in front of\u003ca href=\"http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=7000+coliseum+way+oakland+ca+94621&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x808f85c36b3493fb:0xabc816fe6c3cf0bf,7000+Coliseum+Way,+Oakland,+CA+94621&gl=us&sa=X&ei=XpgmUcynEO7FiwKMoIDYDA&ved=0CDUQ8gEwAQ\" target=\"_blank\"> 7000 Coliseum Way. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that the guidelines do represent some forward progress in the A's ownership's quest to move to the South Bay. Shaikin's unnamed sources didn't disclose their complete contents or exactly when MLB might have delivered them (Chronicle beat writer \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/304651450968072192\" target=\"_blank\">Susan Slusser thinks the team has had them for quite some time\u003c/a>), so it's hard to tell. They also might represent some new obstacles in the road south, since they apparently include \"concerns about the viability of the proposed San Jose ballpark site.\" \u003c!--more-->Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig formed a committee to look into the A's request to relocate four years ago. They're tasked with producing a recommendation to MLB owners, at least 75% of whom would need to vote in favor of the relocation in order to override the objections of the San Francisco Giants, who currently have exclusive territorial rights to Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier today, Greg Baumann, editor-in-chief of the Silicon Valley Business Journal summarized the Giants' fears: \"[The Giants] like to see those fans (from the South Bay) come up the 101, or take Caltrain, to AT&T Park. If the A's move to San Jose and build a state-of-the-art park, a lot of folks are going to choose to break towards San Jose to spend their baseball dollar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If MLB gave their okay and the Giants didn't pursue the matter further, there are still other obstacles: a few pieces of the proposed site are still in private hands, neighborhood groups might try to block a new stadium, and San Jose voters would need to sign off on the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earliest the stadium could be ready for a first pitch would be the 2018 season. A's management is currently negotiating a lease extension at the Oakland Coliseum through 2017 -- although even that's complicated; both parties seem to \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_22631368\" target=\"_blank\">have some communications issues\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Business Journal's Baumann had an interesting comment about the cities in competition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Oakland and San Jose have quite a few parallels. They don't have some kind of natural, inbuilt attraction that lets them be as attractive as San Francisco. So towns like that have to fight tooth and nail and do everything they can to create attractions. San Jose gaining an attraction, in this case, would mean Oakland losing an attraction, and really, Oakland can't afford to lose many more attractions. That said, there are a lot of things about Oakland that are more vibrant than San Jose. Oakland's downtown culture is a lot hotter. It's got more national recognition as a destination for foodies and people of that ilk; San Jose isn't there yet, they need something.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The present-day A's would definitely agree they're hip: among other things, we learned today that they've been named the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/casey-pratt/notes-named-most-metal-team-baseball\" target=\"_blank\">most metal team in baseball\u003c/a> by Decibel Magazine, and have \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_22638678/oakland-prospect-michael-ynoa-back-after-case-chicken\" target=\"_blank\">introduced 10 minutes of yoga\u003c/a> at the beginning of their spring training workouts.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Case in point: today's flurry over \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0221-athletics-san-jose-20130221,0,1177347.story\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Shaikin's story in the LA Times\u003c/a> about the latest development in the Oakland A's relocation saga. In brief, Shaikin said that Major League Baseball has given the A's a list of guidelines for a future move to San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikin is clear that this doesn't necessarily mean the A's can or will move -- even the headline contains the words \"tentative\" and \"potential,\" and there's a big old disclaimer in the subhead. But some people are reacting as if the moving trucks have already pulled up in front of\u003ca href=\"http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=7000+coliseum+way+oakland+ca+94621&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x808f85c36b3493fb:0xabc816fe6c3cf0bf,7000+Coliseum+Way,+Oakland,+CA+94621&gl=us&sa=X&ei=XpgmUcynEO7FiwKMoIDYDA&ved=0CDUQ8gEwAQ\" target=\"_blank\"> 7000 Coliseum Way. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that the guidelines do represent some forward progress in the A's ownership's quest to move to the South Bay. Shaikin's unnamed sources didn't disclose their complete contents or exactly when MLB might have delivered them (Chronicle beat writer \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/304651450968072192\" target=\"_blank\">Susan Slusser thinks the team has had them for quite some time\u003c/a>), so it's hard to tell. They also might represent some new obstacles in the road south, since they apparently include \"concerns about the viability of the proposed San Jose ballpark site.\" \u003c!--more-->Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig formed a committee to look into the A's request to relocate four years ago. They're tasked with producing a recommendation to MLB owners, at least 75% of whom would need to vote in favor of the relocation in order to override the objections of the San Francisco Giants, who currently have exclusive territorial rights to Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the A's move to San Jose and build a state-of-the-art park, a lot of folks are going to choose to break towards San Jose to spend their baseball dollar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If MLB gave their okay and the Giants didn't pursue the matter further, there are still other obstacles: a few pieces of the proposed site are still in private hands, neighborhood groups might try to block a new stadium, and San Jose voters would need to sign off on the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earliest the stadium could be ready for a first pitch would be the 2018 season. A's management is currently negotiating a lease extension at the Oakland Coliseum through 2017 -- although even that's complicated; both parties seem to \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_22631368\" target=\"_blank\">have some communications issues\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Business Journal's Baumann had an interesting comment about the cities in competition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Oakland and San Jose have quite a few parallels. They don't have some kind of natural, inbuilt attraction that lets them be as attractive as San Francisco. So towns like that have to fight tooth and nail and do everything they can to create attractions. San Jose gaining an attraction, in this case, would mean Oakland losing an attraction, and really, Oakland can't afford to lose many more attractions. That said, there are a lot of things about Oakland that are more vibrant than San Jose. Oakland's downtown culture is a lot hotter. It's got more national recognition as a destination for foodies and people of that ilk; San Jose isn't there yet, they need something.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The present-day A's would definitely agree they're hip: among other things, we learned today that they've been named the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/casey-pratt/notes-named-most-metal-team-baseball\" target=\"_blank\">most metal team in baseball\u003c/a> by Decibel Magazine, and have \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_22638678/oakland-prospect-michael-ynoa-back-after-case-chicken\" target=\"_blank\">introduced 10 minutes of yoga\u003c/a> at the beginning of their spring training workouts.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But Verlander proved to be too tough on this night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Verlander gets on a roll like he was today, especially once he gets into his rhythm, you get into the middle innings and he’s rolling along pretty good, it’s tough to stop him,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It’s like a locomotive going at a high speed. He was tough to deal with. Unfortunately he had really good stuff tonight and carried it all the way through tonight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what looked as if it could be a good omen for the A’s, the previous four pitchers to start a winner-take-all postseason game the season after winning the Cy Young award all ended up on the losing side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Verlander was sharp from the start, allowing just three baserunners in the first seven innings. The two hits and one walk all came with two outs as the A’s never really threatened Verlander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yoenis Cespedes was stranded after his double in the first, Brandon Moss was out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt following his walk in the second and Derek Norris struck out swinging on a 98 mph fastball after Moss’ two-out single in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s always tough,” outfielder Coco Crisp said. “You go out there and you battle him the best that you can.

That only grew deeper when the bullpen those two runners and two others to score that inning to make it 6-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were never supposed to be in this position after trading top starters Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and closer Andrew Bailey in the offseason as they were building for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That future came quicker than anyone expected as Oakland overcame a major league-low payroll of $59.5 million to beat out the big-spending Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels for the AL West title. They wrapped up that title with a three-game sweep of Texas in the final regular season series, bringing a rare excitement and intensity to an out-of-date stadium that has struggled to attract fans in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That carried over to the postseason as the A’s staved off elimination the previous two nights, including the dramatic comeback from two runs down in the ninth inning Wednesday to force Game 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were hoping to ride the momentum from that three-run rally to win a postseason series for just the second time since 1990. Four teams previously had overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning or later of a potential elimination game and went on to win the series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of joining teams like last year’s St. Louis Cardinals that accomplished the unlikely feat, the A’s can only take those memories — not a series win — with them from their 15th walkoff win of the season Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This team has just been so amazing throughout the entire year,” third baseman Josh Donaldson said. “We’ve put a really great run together.

That lifted you back up a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They needed that lift after the way Justin Verlander shut them down for nine brilliant innings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Verlander proved to be too tough on this night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Verlander gets on a roll like he was today, especially once he gets into his rhythm, you get into the middle innings and he’s rolling along pretty good, it’s tough to stop him,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It’s like a locomotive going at a high speed. He was tough to deal with. Unfortunately he had really good stuff tonight and carried it all the way through tonight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what looked as if it could be a good omen for the A’s, the previous four pitchers to start a winner-take-all postseason game the season after winning the Cy Young award all ended up on the losing side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Verlander was sharp from the start, allowing just three baserunners in the first seven innings. The two hits and one walk all came with two outs as the A’s never really threatened Verlander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yoenis Cespedes was stranded after his double in the first, Brandon Moss was out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt following his walk in the second and Derek Norris struck out swinging on a 98 mph fastball after Moss’ two-out single in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s always tough,” outfielder Coco Crisp said. “You go out there and you battle him the best that you can. Today he had some of his best stuff of the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jarrod Parker, one of a record three rookie pitchers to start in this series, pitched well again but proved to be no match for Verlander for a second time this series. After being hurt by his own error in a Game 1 loss, it was two wild pitches in a two-run third that helped do in Parker this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infante led off the inning with a single and advanced on a wild pitch. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI double and went to third on Quintin Berry’s sacrifice. Jackson scored on a second wild pitch, giving Detroit a 2-0 lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker left with runners on first and third with one out in the seventh and sat in the dugout with a towel draped over his head in frustration. That only grew deeper when the bullpen those two runners and two others to score that inning to make it 6-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were never supposed to be in this position after trading top starters Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and closer Andrew Bailey in the offseason as they were building for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That future came quicker than anyone expected as Oakland overcame a major league-low payroll of $59.5 million to beat out the big-spending Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels for the AL West title. They wrapped up that title with a three-game sweep of Texas in the final regular season series, bringing a rare excitement and intensity to an out-of-date stadium that has struggled to attract fans in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That carried over to the postseason as the A’s staved off elimination the previous two nights, including the dramatic comeback from two runs down in the ninth inning Wednesday to force Game 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were hoping to ride the momentum from that three-run rally to win a postseason series for just the second time since 1990. Four teams previously had overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning or later of a potential elimination game and went on to win the series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of joining teams like last year’s St. Louis Cardinals that accomplished the unlikely feat, the A’s can only take those memories — not a series win — with them from their 15th walkoff win of the season Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This team has just been so amazing throughout the entire year,” third baseman Josh Donaldson said. “We’ve put a really great run together. It was something special and hopefully something to look forward to next year.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was 1-all before a wild final three innings that included a big Oakland misplay, two game-tying wild pitches and several momentum changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the sixth straight postseason loss for the A's, all to Detroit. The Tigers swept Oakland in the 2006 AL championship series, winning the series on Magglio Ordonez's homer in Game 4 - which was Detroit's last sudden-death postseason win before Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar Infante and Cabrera hit back-to-back singles off Grant Balfour with one out in the ninth. With men on first and third, Prince Fielder was intentionally walked, bringing up Kelly, who had stayed in the game as the designated hitter after pinch-running the previous inning. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly's fly to right was plenty deep enough to score Infante without a play at the plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was tied at 4 after both teams made their share of mistakes in the seventh and eighth. Cliff Pennington gave the A's the lead with an RBI single in the seventh, but center fielder Coco Crisp dropped Cabrera's two-out flyball in the bottom half, allowing two runs to score.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland tied it in the eighth on a wild pitch by Joaquin Benoit, and Josh Reddick followed with a solo homer to give the A's a 4-3 lead. Then it was Ryan Cook's turn to throw a tying wild pitch, allowing Kelly to score as a pinch runner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennington nearly came through again for Oakland in the ninth, but his deep drive down the left-field line was just foul. With runners on first and third and two out, Al Alburquerque got Yoenis Cespedes on grounder to the mound - and it looked like the right-hander planted a little kiss on the ball before throwing to first after he fielded the comebacker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a drizzly day at Comerica Park, both teams were sloppy with the game on the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With runners on first and second and two out in the seventh, Cabrera lifted a fly to center. Crisp, charging hard, tried to make a basket catch but bobbled the ball. He nearly recovered to make a falling grab, but the ball popped out of his glove and the Tigers took a 3-2 lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cespedes led off the eighth with a single and stole second and third. With one out and the infield in, Benoit threw a wild pitch to allow the tying run. The worst was still to come for the Detroit reliever, who allowed Reddick's homer to right that put Oakland ahead 4-3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick had struck out in all six at-bats in the series before that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland again gave up the lead immediately. The A's have taken the lead four times in this series, but on each occasion they failed to hold it through the bottom half of the inning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doug Fister allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for Detroit, striking out eight. Rookie Tommy Milone was impressive for the A's, allowing a run and five hits in six innings. He struck out six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fister gave the A's trouble early with his slow, sweeping breaking ball, but Oakland hit four singles in the third to score a run. Crisp's slow roller to third turned into an infield hit when Cabrera threw wide to first. Drew struck out looking - and had words for plate umpire Mark Wegner - but Cespedes followed with a run-scoring single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland nearly scored again on a single to right by Moss, but rookie Avisail Garcia threw Crisp out at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's showed frustration with the plate umpire during Game 1, and that spilled over to Sunday. Reddick struck out looking for the third out of the third and threw his bat away immediately. Wegner took off his mask and stared at the Oakland outfielder as he headed back toward the dugout, but the situation didn't escalate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera hit a one-out double in the bottom of the third - to the same spot in left-center as his double in the first. He went to third on a single by Fielder and scored on a dribbler by Delmon Young that was too slow to be a double play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milone retired 10 in a row, starting with Young's RBI groundout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTES: Oakland has struck out 23 times in the first two games. ... Benoit allowed 14 homers during the regular season, easily his most since 2004, when he spent some time as a starter. ... The A's are hoping LHP Brett Anderson is healthy enough to start Game 3 against Anibal Sanchez.

It was 1-all before a wild final three innings that included a big Oakland misplay, two game-tying wild pitches and several momentum changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the sixth straight postseason loss for the A's, all to Detroit. The Tigers swept Oakland in the 2006 AL championship series, winning the series on Magglio Ordonez's homer in Game 4 - which was Detroit's last sudden-death postseason win before Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar Infante and Cabrera hit back-to-back singles off Grant Balfour with one out in the ninth. With men on first and third, Prince Fielder was intentionally walked, bringing up Kelly, who had stayed in the game as the designated hitter after pinch-running the previous inning. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly's fly to right was plenty deep enough to score Infante without a play at the plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was tied at 4 after both teams made their share of mistakes in the seventh and eighth. Cliff Pennington gave the A's the lead with an RBI single in the seventh, but center fielder Coco Crisp dropped Cabrera's two-out flyball in the bottom half, allowing two runs to score.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland tied it in the eighth on a wild pitch by Joaquin Benoit, and Josh Reddick followed with a solo homer to give the A's a 4-3 lead. Then it was Ryan Cook's turn to throw a tying wild pitch, allowing Kelly to score as a pinch runner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennington nearly came through again for Oakland in the ninth, but his deep drive down the left-field line was just foul. With runners on first and third and two out, Al Alburquerque got Yoenis Cespedes on grounder to the mound - and it looked like the right-hander planted a little kiss on the ball before throwing to first after he fielded the comebacker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a drizzly day at Comerica Park, both teams were sloppy with the game on the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With runners on first and second and two out in the seventh, Cabrera lifted a fly to center. Crisp, charging hard, tried to make a basket catch but bobbled the ball. He nearly recovered to make a falling grab, but the ball popped out of his glove and the Tigers took a 3-2 lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cespedes led off the eighth with a single and stole second and third. With one out and the infield in, Benoit threw a wild pitch to allow the tying run. The worst was still to come for the Detroit reliever, who allowed Reddick's homer to right that put Oakland ahead 4-3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick had struck out in all six at-bats in the series before that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland again gave up the lead immediately.

Rookie Tommy Milone was impressive for the A's, allowing a run and five hits in six innings. He struck out six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fister gave the A's trouble early with his slow, sweeping breaking ball, but Oakland hit four singles in the third to score a run. Crisp's slow roller to third turned into an infield hit when Cabrera threw wide to first. Drew struck out looking - and had words for plate umpire Mark Wegner - but Cespedes followed with a run-scoring single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland nearly scored again on a single to right by Moss, but rookie Avisail Garcia threw Crisp out at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's showed frustration with the plate umpire during Game 1, and that spilled over to Sunday. Reddick struck out looking for the third out of the third and threw his bat away immediately. Wegner took off his mask and stared at the Oakland outfielder as he headed back toward the dugout, but the situation didn't escalate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera hit a one-out double in the bottom of the third - to the same spot in left-center as his double in the first. He went to third on a single by Fielder and scored on a dribbler by Delmon Young that was too slow to be a double play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milone retired 10 in a row, starting with Young's RBI groundout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTES: Oakland has struck out 23 times in the first two games. ... Benoit allowed 14 homers during the regular season, easily his most since 2004, when he spent some time as a starter. ... The A's are hoping LHP Brett Anderson is healthy enough to start Game 3 against Anibal Sanchez. Anderson missed the last couple weeks of the regular season because of a strained right oblique.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
