What happened: The Athletics won on a walk-off in their most recent game, the team said. The club then tied a ticket promotion to the late-inning victory, leaning on a play on the name of first baseman Nick Kurtz.

Why it matters: Walk-off wins are momentum builders during the regular-season grind, and the Athletics have ridden a hot stretch from Kurtz in recent weeks. He was the same Nick Kurtz named AL Player of the Month for May, underscoring how central his bat has become to the lineup.

What to watch: Watch whether the Athletics can build on the walk-off and keep Kurtz producing as the regular season rolls on.
