The A’s and Giants have played plenty of regular-season classics since 1997, when Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds homered in the first series between the clubs.
In one of the wilder walk-off games in Series history , the Giants tied the score with a four-run ninth off new A’s closer Octavio Dotel . But in the bottom of the 10th Marco Scutaro’s two-out single gave the A’s an 8-7 win. Scutaro also broke Giants fans’ hearts with a tie-breaking home run off Matt Cain in 2007 — five years before he became an all-time franchise favorite for his 2012 playoff heroics.

Scutaro knocked in the winning run in the tenth inning. A day after striking out to end the game, Bonds tied Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list with No. 714 in the second inning.
