Athletics Edge Angels In 19-Inning Battle 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 30, 2013 12:20 pm

Brandon Moss hit a two-run home run to give the Oakland Athletics a 10-8 win over the Los Angeles Angels in 19 innings on Monday night.


The game, which ended early Tuesday morning, was the longest game in the Major Leagues this season.


"It was a crazy game, and I'm glad it's over," Moss said. "That was exhausting, it really was."


The teams were on the field for 6 hours, 32 minutes in the marathon game. By time, it was the longest game ever played in Oakland -- and the longest in Angels history.
