A’s utility man Chad Pinder tied Matt Stairs for the franchise record with 21 pinch hits.
Almost lost in the walk-off celebration Sunday was a clutch moment authored by Chad Pinder, the Athletics’ versatile utility player and one of the most valuable pieces on the roster for manager Mark Kotsay.
Kotsay sent Pinder up to hit for cleanup batter Seth Brown against the left-handed John King with one out, and Pinder singled home Tony Kemp to tie the score. The A’s took the lead with help from a throwing error to the plate by former teammate Marcus Semien — only to have the Rangers tie it in the top of the ninth on a wild pitch by closer Dany Jimenez.
It begins with a Memorial Day afternoon game with unbeaten right-hander Paul Blackburn taking on the Astros’ Framber Valdez .
