The Oakland Athletics are in the midst of a tight AL Wild Card race with the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians. On Wednesday, Oakland got a much-needed win over the Kansas City Royals, and it's all thanks to center fielder Mark Canha. Tied in an 11th-inning scoreless deadlock, Canha put an end to the game with an RBI double to right field, scoring Jurickson Profar from second base, and walking-off the Royals.

A's fans are going home happy thanks to some clutch hitting from the big center fielder.

As a result of Canha's heroics, Oakland now has a 2.5-game lead over the Rays for the top Wild Card spot.
