VIDEO: Radio Call of Matt Chapman's Season-Saving Home Run for A's is Completely Electric

Somehow, after nearly cementing themselves as the top AL Wild Card over the past few weeks, the A's were...in danger of falling out of the singular contest entirely? The Indians and Rays were surging to the point where even one loss would imperil them...and then they blew an early lead against the Angels on Tuesday. Following an Indians loss in Chicago, Oakland was in the midst of squandering a golden opportunity once again on Wednesday...until Matt Chapman stepped to the plate in the ninth, and turned a near loss into a major exhale for fans.

In case those soothing sounds weren't enough for you, you might enjoy the video version, Oakland.

Now, the Swingin' A's are 1.5 games up on Cleveland, and one up on the idle Rays in the loss column.

Pillow provided, thanks to Matt Chapman. That's clutch.
