After winning their last game of the season, they took sole possession of the West for the first time all year, overtaking the <a href="/wiki/2012_Texas_Rangers_season" title="2012 Texas Rangers season">Texas Rangers</a>. The A's had trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30, and had a five-game deficit with nine days left in the season. The 2012 team, which led the league with 15 <a href="/wiki/Walk-off_home_run" title="Walk-off home run">walk-off</a> wins, managed this with the second-lowest payroll in baseball, at $59.5 million.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They lost in five games to the <a href="/wiki/2012_Detroit_Tigers_season" title="2012 Detroit Tigers season">Detroit Tigers</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2012_American_League_Division_Series" title="2012 American League Division Series">Divisional Series</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Season_summary">Season summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2012_Oakland_Athletics_season&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Season summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following a 74-88 finish in <a href="/wiki/2011_Oakland_Athletics_season" title="2011 Oakland Athletics season">2011</a>, general manager <a href="/wiki/Billy_Beane" title="Billy Beane">Billy Beane</a> largely dismantled the team's starting rotation. All-Star starters <a href="/wiki/Trevor_Cahill" title="Trevor Cahill">Trevor Cahill</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gio_Gonz%C3%A1lez" title="Gio González">Gio González</a> were traded to the <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Diamondbacks" title="Arizona Diamondbacks">Arizona Diamondbacks</a> and <a href="/wiki/Washington_Nationals" title="Washington Nationals">Washington Nationals</a>, respectively. The trades yielded a number of highly touted prospects; among these were catcher <a href="/wiki/Derek_Norris" title="Derek Norris">Derek Norris</a>, starting pitchers <a href="/wiki/Tommy_Milone" title="Tommy Milone">Tommy Milone</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brad_Peacock" title="Brad Peacock">Brad Peacock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jarrod_Parker" title="Jarrod Parker">Jarrod Parker</a>, and reliever <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Cook_(baseball)" title="Ryan Cook (baseball)">Ryan Cook</a>. An additional trade sent All-Star closer <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Bailey_(baseball)" title="Andrew Bailey (baseball)">Andrew Bailey</a> (along with <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Sweeney_(baseball)" title="Ryan Sweeney (baseball)">Ryan Sweeney</a>) to the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</a> in exchange for outfielder <a href="/wiki/Josh_Reddick" title="Josh Reddick">Josh Reddick</a> and a pair of prospects. With power-hitting outfielder <a href="/wiki/Josh_Willingham" title="Josh Willingham">Josh Willingham</a> becoming a free agent, Beane's next move was to sign highly regarded Cuban outfielder <a href="/wiki/Yoenis_C%C3%A9spedes" title="Yoenis Céspedes">Yoenis Céspedes</a> on February 13, 2012. The 4-year, $36 million deal seemed out of character, especially given the Athletics' low payroll and generally frugal nature. The move followed a number of earlier (and lower-cost) free-agent signings, including the additions of veterans <a href="/wiki/Jonny_Gomes" title="Jonny Gomes">Jonny Gomes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seth_Smith" title="Seth Smith">Seth Smith</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bartolo_Col%C3%B3n" title="Bartolo Colón">Bartolo Colón</a>. </p><p>Despite these additions, expectations were still not high for the Athletics in 2012, as a number of experts picked the Athletics to lose as many as 100 games in the highly competitive <a href="/wiki/American_League_West" title="American League West">AL West</a>. The A's managed to play winning baseball through mid-May and held a 22–21 record on May 21, before a nine-game losing streak brought them down to a season-low eight games under the .500 mark. In <a href="/wiki/Bob_Melvin" title="Bob Melvin">Bob Melvin</a>'s first full season as manager, the team began to gel in the month of June. Between June 2 (the day the nine-game losing streak ended) and June 30, the A's posted a 15–12 record; then erased their deficit with a 19-5 surge in July, highlighted by the first-ever four-game sweep of the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">New York Yankees</a> in Oakland. This stellar play put the once-dead Athletics into the heat of the AL West race: while they had trailed the division-leading <a href="/wiki/Texas_Rangers_(baseball)" title="Texas Rangers (baseball)">Rangers</a> by 13 games on June 30, they were only 3.5 back on July 28. A 5–8 start to August, however, widened the Rangers' lead to six games. Additionally, veteran pitcher Bartolo Colón was suspended after testing positive for synthetic testosterone on August 22. Facing these problems, the A's won 13 of their final 15 August games, due in part to the season debut of injured ace <a href="/wiki/Brett_Anderson_(baseball)" title="Brett Anderson (baseball)">Brett Anderson</a> and capped off with a 20–2 victory over the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</a> on August 31. </p><p>The A's continued to play well through the first days of September, though they began to decline as the month progressed. On September 5, Opening Day starter <a href="/wiki/Brandon_McCarthy" title="Brandon McCarthy">Brandon McCarthy</a> was seriously injured when a line drive impacted his head. The injury, which resulted in an epidural hemorrhage, a brain contusion, and a skull fracture, was considered life-threatening for a number of days. Although McCarthy made a recovery over the following two months, the injury ended his season. An additional injury to Brett Anderson further impacted the A's starting rotation. From September 13 to 24 the A's would lose six out of eight games, with the final loss being a 5–4 defeat at the hands of the Rangers that put the A's five games behind the division leaders (with only nine left to play), though the A's were not mathematically eliminated. After winning two of their next three games against the Rangers, they then swept the <a href="/wiki/Seattle_Mariners" title="Seattle Mariners">Seattle Mariners</a> (highlighted by their last regular-season walk-off), while the Rangers lost two games out of three to the division-rival <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Angels_of_Anaheim" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim">Los Angeles Angels</a>. With the Rangers leading the A's by only two games, the teams faced off in Oakland for the final three games of the season. The A's took the first two games by scores of 4-3 and 3–1, respectively; the first win clinched a postseason berth for the Athletics, while the second momentarily tied the A's with the Rangers for first place and set up a winner-take-all game for the division crown. In the final game, a 5-1 Rangers lead after the 2nd inning was not enough as the Athletics scored six runs in the 4th (including two off a fly ball that was misplayed by <a href="/wiki/Josh_Hamilton" title="Josh Hamilton">Josh Hamilton</a>) and scored five more runs in the eventual 12–5 victory. </p><p>Having secured the division championship, the Athletics faced the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Tigers" title="Detroit Tigers">Detroit Tigers</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2012_American_League_Division_Series" title="2012 American League Division Series">2012 American League Division Series</a>. The A's were shut down by Detroit ace <a href="/wiki/Justin_Verlander" title="Justin Verlander">Justin Verlander</a> in Game 1, and followed that loss with a 5–4 defeat in Game 2. The Athletics, now down 2–0 in a best-of-five series, returned to Oakland for Game 3. Brett Anderson saved the Athletics' season by shutting out the Tigers in a 2-0 Athletics victory. Then, trailing 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 9th inning, Oakland scored three runs (the final on a Coco Crisp walk-off single) to capture a come-from-behind 4–3 victory in Game 4. The A's comeback was not to be, however, as a dominant outing by Verlander ended the A's season in Game 5. </p><p>The Athletics' 94–68 record in 2012 was their best in nearly a decade. Manager Bob Melvin and General Manager Billy Beane were honored with the <a href="/wiki/This_Year_in_Baseball_Awards" title="This Year in Baseball Awards">Greatness in Baseball Yearly</a> (GIBBY)
