2013 ALDS Game 2: A’s Even Series as Tigers Offense Stalls
Game 2 of the ALDS was a coming out party for Oakland rookie starter Sonny Gray. Gray stymied the Tigers over 8 innings helping the Athletics even the series. But it took Stephen Vogt’s single in the bottom of the ninth for the A’s to earn a split at home.
"ALDS Game 2 between the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics will happen in front of another raucous crowd in Oakland California. After losing Game 1 last night, the Athletics will try to avoid going back to Detroit down 0-2."
ALDS Game 2 Results: Vogt’s walk-off single
"The Oakland Athletics were desperate for a win in ALDS Game 2 and thanks to Stephen Vogt they got one. The A’s catcher lined a single into left field in the bottom of the ninth to score Yoenis Cespedes and end the game in walk-off fashion. It had been a pitchers duel until that point. Justin Verlander was brilliant through 7 scoreless innings striking out 11 and scattering 4 hits. Trouble was that Oakland starter Sonny Gray was just a little better. Gray bested Verlander by going 8 scoreless innings and striking out 9."
