Late Go-ahead Homers Are A Specialty In Oakland

From Elias: Chris Young hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the 9th inning of the Athletics' 6-5 victory over the Astros. Young is the 10th different Oakland player with a go-ahead home run in the 9th inning or later since the start of the 2012 season, most in the majors over that span. Including tonight, Young has four go-ahead homers in the ninth inning or later since the start of the 2012 season, tied with Adam Jones for most in the majors over the span.
