Brandon Moss hit his second home run of the night in the bottom of the 19th inning to give the Oakland Athletics a 10-8 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the longest major-league game of the season. The two teams were on the field for six hours and 32 minutes and ended on this blast (see video below) at 1:41 AM on the West Coast.
“It’s one of those things where you just want to quit, but at the same time you don’t want to lose so you’re not going to quit,” Moss said. “You just keep fighting through and keep hoping they throw a ball into your bat. I don’t even know how I hit it. I was so late on everything after the 10th inning on. If it was thigh-high or up I couldn’t catch it, so I was just trying to get anything down in the zone. Both teams tonight battled so hard.”
