Soderstrom's Walk-Off Single Gives Athletics 5-4 Extra-Inning Win Over Braves

Friday, July 11th, 2025

Tyler Soderstrom opened Thursday night's game with a long home run and closed it with a one-out RBI single to give the Athletics a 5-4 11-inning victory over the Atlanta Braves on July 10, 2025.

Soderstrom went 3 for 5 with four RBI, his winning hit plating automatic runner Brent Rooker.

For the Braves, the loss marked their 11th in the last 14 games. They haven't won a series since they swept the New York Mets in a three-game homestand June 17-19. Atlanta has since lost five series and split one with the Mets.

Soderstrom's 445-foot three-run homer to right field in the first inning gave the A's a 3-0 lead.

JP Sears, making his 100th career appearance, retired the first 11 Braves batters he faced, five by strikeouts. Back-to-back doubles by Austin Riley and Sean Murphy put the Braves on the scoreboard with two outs in the fourth to end Sears' streak of 15 1/3 scoreless innings.

Jurickson Profar then erased the deficit with a two-run homer to left field.

Ozzie Albies of the Braves and the A's Nick Kurtz exchanged homers in the later innings to send the game into extra innings.
