KURTZ DELIVERS! | A’s SILENCE WRIGLEY In HUGE Extra-Inning Victory!

The Athletics looked cooked. Down 4-2 entering the eighth inning at Wrigley Field, quiet bats, missed opportunities, and Pete Crow-Armstrong launching baseballs into another zip code had this one trending toward heartbreak. Then the switch flipped. Colby Thomas stepped in cold off the bench and absolutely detonated a game-changing moonshot to left-center that cracked the door open. Shea Langeliers followed with a clutch double, Tyler Soderstrom tied the game in chaos, and suddenly the Cubs crowd went from party mode to “uh-oh” in record time. The A’s bullpen slammed the brakes from there, giving the offense a chance to finish the robbery. In extras, the kids delivered. Max Muncy? Nope—not tonight. Nick Kurtz came through with the go-ahead RBI single in the 10th after the Cubs failed to execute in the bottom half against Justin Sterner, who shut the door like he had somewhere else to be. From Jacob Wilson delivering early offense to clutch bullpen work, this was one of those wins that screams something bigger: resilient, relentless, and refusing to fold on the road. Tonight on Last Call A’s Postgame LIVE, we’re breaking down the comeback, the heroes, the bullpen brilliance, and whether this was one of the biggest statement wins of the season.
