The Oakland A’s suffered a gut-punch loss to the worst team in Major League Baseball.
A’s reliever Norge Ruiz, looking for his first career Major League save, instead gave up four runs in the bottom of the 10th inning, including a three-run homer to Joey Meneses in a 7-5 loss to the Washington Nationals.
It appeared the A’s had things well under control after catcher Shea Langeliers’ two-RBI double off the right field wall in the 10th inning gave his team a 5-3 lead.
