A's rally in 9th inning to defeat Giants 9-6, avoid series sweep
Summary

The Sacramento A's rallied in the 9th inning to defeat the San Francisco Giants 9-6 in the final game of the Highway 80 Series on June 25, 2026. After trailing 6-2, the Athletics scored seven runs in the last inning, highlighted by key RBIs from Jonah Heim and Max Muncy. The Giants' bullpen struggled, allowing four runs in the 9th to squander their lead, despite Victor Bericoto's earlier 445-foot homer. The A's overcame a shaky start after a solid pitching performance by Giants starter Buddy Landen Roupp, who pitched six innings without allowing any runs. The A's will look to build momentum from this game in their next series.
