Butler Walks It Off for A's | Oakland Athletics News

Lawrence Butler crushed the game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the Athletics to an 8-7 walk-off victory over the Mariners in a wild, back-and-forth thriller. Zack Gelof launched his 17th home run early, while Randy Arozarena answered with two bombs—including a go-ahead shot in the eighth—to keep Seattle alive. The Mariners’ shaky pitching, including four different hurlers and a late-game meltdown, set the stage for Oakland’s dramatic rally. With the score tied and runners on, Butler delivered again, securing the win and giving the A’s their second walk-off against Seattle this series—a statement victory against a division rival.
