Thursday, 7/10:
Kurt Suzuki, Oakland Athletics / Rob Bowen, Oakland Athletics.
Suzuki, K. has been starting every day, and Rob Bowen started Thursday afternoon, as a day off for Kurt. So when Kurt Clutch hit a homer with 2 out in the 9th (pinch-hitting for Bowen), he not only re-earned his nickname, he came off the Bench to put the A's in extra innings. They eventually won on Emil Brown's sayonara homer in the 11th. The best parts about Brown's homer: the A's Mr. RBI from April has been struggling a little in the last month (6 rbis in June; down from 21 rbis in April), but his gamewinner was a revalation! The other best part is the team-wide jumping celebration, which takes place after each one of these, 7 so far this year in Oakland. Check the video!
