A's 2, Indians 1 (10 innings)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mark Canha stroked a walk-off double to left-center field in the 10th inning, sending the Oakland Athletics to a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
Canha blasted a 3-1 pitch from Indians reliever Cody Allen (1-3) off the wall in left to score Sam Fuld from first base. Fuld reached with a single to center.
The win went to reliever Fernando Rodriguez (2-1) as the Athletics earned a split of the four-game set in a series that pitted two last-place teams.
The Indians scored in the first inning as Gray struggled to find command early.
Gray issued walks to right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall and left fielder Michael Brantley before designated hitter Carlos Santana dumped a soft single to center to load the bases with one out.
First baseman Jerry Sands plated Chisenhall with a sacrifice fly to medium center before third baseman Giovanny Urshela struck out, limiting the damage to one run on 27 pitches for Gray.
Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer was sailing along with the one-run lead until running into his own control issues with two outs in the fifth.
Bauer walked second baseman Eric Sogard and shortstop Marcus Semien -- Oakland's Nos. 8 and 9 hitters -- on eight pitches. Leadoff batter Billy Burns worked the count to 2-2 before flipping a piped fastball over the head of Urshela into left field for a game-tying single.
Bauer walked left fielder Sam Fuld to load the bases, but he worked back from a 3-1 count against Canha to induce a foul pop to third from the Oakland pinch hitter. Bauer threw 33 pitches in the inning.
Canha remained in the game to play left field after right fielder Josh Reddick exited. Reddick sustained lower back soreness after making a long running catch of a foul drive by Cleveland second baseman Mike Aviles to start the fifth inning. Fuld moved from left to right.
Bauer departed after allowing a two-out single to right-center field by Semien in the seventh inning. Gray went seven innings, giving up four hits while striking out seven. Both starters walked four and were each charged with one earned run.
