Open Thread: Game 121 - Tampa Bay Rays at Oakland Athletics (3)

Against all odds, the A's tied the game at 3 on a blast by Jack Cust. Mazzaro made it to the seventh, and Blevins....well...gave up a homerun. The A's have to come back again. It's 4-3 Rays, going to the bottom of the 7th inning.

So let me get this straight.

Mazzaro was cruising, had retired everyone, and he was yanked….and his replacement gave up a homerun?
