Oakland Athletics snatch 10-8 win over Los Angeles Angels in 19th inning

Oakland's Brandon Moss smashed a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the 19th inning to end a titanic battle with the Los Angeles Angels.

Moss cleared the wall for the second time in the game to seal a 10-8 victory for the Athletics in a game lasting six hours, 32 minutes - the longest in history for both clubs.

Oakland had earlier fought back from 7-2 down to force the game into extra innings, scoring four runs in the eighth and levelling the scores with a two-out RBI single from Yoenis Cespedes in the ninth.

Albert Pujols had four hits for the Angels, including two solo home runs, before Moss struck the winning blow off Jerry Blevins - the Angels' final relief pitcher.

Raburn cleared the wall for a three-run blast in the fifth inning and added a solo homer in the eighth to finish with four hits on the night.

Jason Kipnis also homered for the Indians, while Jimenez conceded only two walks and an infield single over his first seven innings as he picked up his first win of the season.
