    Mark Ellis wanted to hit a line drive to center. The Oakland second baseman will settle for an infield grounder and a walk-off RBI.

    Kurt Suzuki scored from third base in the 10th inning on Ellis' fielder's choice grounder to an outfielder playing in the infield, lifting the Athletics to a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.
