Ginn nearly got a no-hitter on Monday, but the Angels had the last laugh in a disastrous outing for the A's.
Athletics starting pitcher J. T. Ginn almost made history for the Athletics.
Instead, the A’s lost in the worst way possible. The Los Angeles Angeles pulled off a stunning 2-1 walk-off win , despite Ginn throwing eight no-hit innings in Anaheim. The pitcher had 10 strikeouts and allowed just one walk heading into the final inning.
Unfortunately for Ginn, the Athletics did not do anything to back up the performance on offense. The A’s got six hits, but left nine batters on base to stay scoreless through the eighth inning. Finally, in the ninth, Lawrence Butler gave the A’s that much-needed run, sending Zack Gelof home with an RBI single.
