Match Report
OAKLAND, CA - A walk off two run home run from Rusney Castillo forces a game 5 in this enthralling ALDS. As the Tigers finished up the sweep of the Rays, all eyes turned to Fenway as a two run top of the ninth for the Athletics sent this game to extras. Sonny Gray was far from his ace-self, labouring through 6 and a third giving up four runs, whilst ex-A Kazmir, struggled to even make it to the fifth. However, in the ninth, veteran closer Uehara was in to nail down the save and take it to a game 5 in regulation, however a rally ensued with RBI singles from Encarnacion and Wendle ensured the A's weren't going down that easily. After Sean Doolittle gave the visitors two innings of scoreless relief the ball was handed to Kelvin Herrera. He allowed the first runner to reach, and after Ramirez bunted him over, Castillo sent the first pitch he saw 401 foot over the monster to send the home crowd into raptures... game 5 next...
