A 15-14 Game Just Went 12 Innings, And It's Getting Hard To Ignore How Wild This Season Is Already

Holy cow, did you guys *see* what went down last night in Las Vegas?! Seriously, if you blinked, you missed a whole game's worth of drama. The Milwaukee Brewers pulled off an absolutely bonkers 15-14 comeback win against the Athletics, and it took 12 wild innings to get it done. This wasn't just a game, it was a four-hour, 14-minute marathon that left everyone speechless.

The Tenth Inning Was Pure Chaos

Picture this: bottom of the 12th, Christian Yelich on third as the automatic runner after stealing the bag to kick things off. Jose Suarez gets a big strikeout against Jackson Chourio, but then Brice Turang hits a fielder's choice grounder, and Yelich just slides home ahead of the throw. Brewers win! Chad Patrick came in for the 12th and locked it down for his third save, and Abner Uribe got the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. But man, the 10th inning was where both teams just absolutely erupted, each scoring four runs! William Contreras blasted a three-run homer that put the Brewers up 14-10, and you thought it was over, right? NOPE. The A's, playing against Aaron Ashby, who was a ridiculous 9-0 on the season, tied it right back up. Shea Langeliers hit a two-out RBI single, Nick Kurtz followed with a two-run homer, his second of the game and 14th of the year, and then pinch-hitter Jonah Heim tied it with his fourth homer. Just pure, unadulterated baseball chaos.

Homers Flying Like It's Batting Practice

You wanna talk about offense? These teams were treating the ball like a beach ball! The Athletics hammered out seven homers, and the Brewers had four of their own, all at that hitter-friendly ballpark. For the A's, Tyler Soderstrom went yard twice, including a monster three-run shot. Zack Gelof and Langeliers each added solo dingers. And we already mentioned Nick Kurtz's two bombs, including his 13th of the season off former teammate Joel Kuhnel. The Brewers got their power from Brice Turang, who hit his 10th homer, Andrew Vaughn with his second, and Jake Bauers with his 12th. What an absolute slugfest! This whole thing felt like a video game where someone cranked the sliders all the way up. The Brewers were down 8-4 after just three innings, which would make most teams pack it in. But they kept chipping away, pulling to 10-8 in the eighth on a wild pitch, and then Andrew Vaughn's two-run double in the ninth tied it up at 10-all to send it to extras. Kyle Harrison, the A's starter, got absolutely shelled for a career-high eight runs in his shortest outing of the season, thanks to a six-run third inning for the A's that included Max Muncy's two-run, bases-loaded single, Soderstrom's ninth homer, and Gelof's seventh. This game was just a relentless back-and-forth punchfest! That was only game one of a three-game series, believe it or not! The A's have to shake that off fast before they welcome Colorado to town for three more games. You gotta wonder what kind of energy these teams are going to bring after a game like that. What a wild start to the week in the city where the A's are eventually supposed to call home for good. Let's go baseball!
