Andrew Vaughn had four hits and four RBIs, including a two-run double that tied the score in the ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers outlasted the Athletics 15-14 in 12 innings at Las Vegas Ballpark in a wild game that featured 11 homers. Automatic runner Christian Yelich scored the decisive run from third when Athletics second baseman Jeff McNeil threw wide to home plate on a grounder by Brice Turang in the 12th. The teams totaled 34 hits, and 14 pitchers combined to throw 444 pitches. It was the fourth game in major league history with at least 29 runs and 11 homers. Tyler Soderstrom and Nick Kurtz each homered twice for the Athletics, who went deep seven times at the site of their Triple-A affiliate.
The first pitch to an Athletics player Monday night in Las Vegas was an explosive welcome. Shea Langeliers sent a shot 483 feet in the first sign of the madness to come in a 15-14, 12-inning game that introduced the city to its eventual MLB club. The Milwaukee Brewers were the winners, but so too were the fans. Brewers manager Pat Murphy called it the most bizarre game he's seen in 11 years. The game featured 16 challenges, with 11 calls overturned. The game was held at Las Vegas Ballpark, where the A's are introducing themselves to local fans before their planned move to Las Vegas in 2028.
