April 8, 2014 -- Athletics (1-0) at Astros (0-1)
I'm still waiting for my debut, but what a game! If every game is like this, I'll be happy just to have the best seat in the house. ... OK, that's not true, but whatever.
Marwin Gonzalez gave us a 4-3 lead with an RBI single in the eighth, but Manny Parra couldn't hold it in the ninth, giving up Jed Lowrie's RBI double. Jemile Weeks followed with a shot to the left corner, but J.D. Martinez surprised everybody by running it down for a catch that kept things tied.
Martinez locked up game MVP honors with a walk-off single against Sean Doolittle in the bottom of the ninth for a 5-4 win!
ASTROS HIGHLIGHTS
Martinez 4-5, 2 RBIs
Castro 2-5, RBI
Villar, Maxwell solo HR each
Miley 8 innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk, 1 K
