J.T. Ginn took a no-hitter into the ninth inning for the Athletics against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on Monday night. Two batters later, he suffered the loss.<\/p>\n
In a hard-to-believe finish, Zach Neto hit a two-run homer to give the Angels a 2-1 walk-off win over the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The game was 0-0 entering the ninth inning, but the A\u2019s got one run to take a 1-0 lead, setting up Ginn for the chance to finish off the no-hitter in the bottom of the ninth.<\/p>\n
On pitch No. 102 of the night for Ginn, the Angels\u2019 Adam Frazier hit a line-drive single to break up the no-hitter while leading off the bottom of the ninth.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how that looked on the NBC Sports California broadcast, with Jenny Cavnar on the A\u2019s play-by-play call:<\/p>\n
