The Athletics got a big at-bat from first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. For the game, Goldschmidt was 1-3 with a walk. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 122nd hit of the season gave Oakland a 2-1 lead.

Goldschmidt said he was "thrilled" the fans had something to get excited about.
