So many things happened. There were 16 challenges in the game. Sixteen challenges in the game. I\u2019ve never seen anything like it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes, the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just the pitchers who had a rough night. Home plate umpire Clint Vondrak had 11 of 16 challenges for ball and strikes overturned and, according to Umpire Scorecards, he missed three other calls that potentially impacted the game.<\/p>\n<p>This series is being played at Las Vegas Ballpark, home of the A\u2019s Triple-A affiliate. The A\u2019s play the Brewers again Tuesday and Wednesday and will host the Colorado Rockies in a three-game series beginning Friday as they begin to introduce themselves to the Las Vegas fan base. The club is scheduled to move to Las Vegas in 2028 and play in a $2 billion, 33,000-person capacity domed stadium on the Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Team jerseys with VEGAS on the back and the No. 28 were given out to fans.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s doubtful that new stadium will be the launching pad the minor league facility was in the opening game, a four-hour, 14-minute offensive onslaught. The teams combined for 34 hits and 11 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust an all-around crazy game,\u201d Langeliers said. \u201cBoth teams battled all night. It was a great baseball game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2911\">Serena returns: Williams begins her comeback in doubles at Queen\u2019s Club<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was the Brewers\u2019 second-ever victory after allowing at least 14 runs. Milwaukee defeated Washington by the same score on Aug. 17, 2019. The Brewers now are 2-88 in such games.<\/p>\n<p>For the A\u2019s, this was the first time they have been in a game in which both sides scored at least 14 runs since a 17-16 loss at Texas on May 5, 2000.<\/p>\n<p>There was not only a lot of scoring, but plenty of drama as well.<\/p>\n<p>The A\u2019s took a two-run lead into the ninth inning, but Andrew Vaughn\u2019s two-run double with no outs sent the game to extras.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee then scored four runs in the 10th before the A\u2019s answered with four of their own, including two-out homers by Nick Kurtz and Jonah Heim.<\/p>\n<p>Brice Turang\u2019s fielder\u2019s choice grounder with one out in the 12th inning scored Christian Yelich for what turned out to be the winning run, and soon after perhaps the wildest game of the season was over.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=2909\">Jury hears dueling narratives at trial of Texas teen who killed another athlete at school track meet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 The first pitch to an Athletics player Monday night in Las&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
