T. Ginn looked untouchable. The Athletics right-hander carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Angels , overwhelmed hitters with strikeout stuff and appeared moments away from one of the greatest performances in franchise history.

Then baseball flipped everything in an instant. After Adam Frazier opened the ninth with a single to break up the no-hitter, Zach Neto crushed a 413-foot walk-off home run to center field that suddenly transformed Ginn’s masterpiece into a devastating 2-1 loss. It was the kind of ending that almost felt unfair.
