OAKLAND, Calif., July 8 (UPI) -- Josh Reddick drove in Jemile Weeks with a 13th-inning double Sunday, boosting the Oakland Athletics to a 2-1 decision over Seattle.

The A's had been held scoreless since an RBI single by Yoenis Cespedes in the first, but finally pushed a run across 12 frames later to claim the rubber match of a three-game series.

Weeks led off the 13th with single against Oliver Perez (0-2) and came home with the game-winner after Reddick sliced a pitch into the left-center field gap, rolling to the wall.

It was the eighth walk-off win for the A's this season, most in major league baseball.

Jordan Norberto (2-1) earned the victory with a scoreless top of the 13th.

A's starter Bartolo Colon held Seattle to one run on seven hits over 8 2/3 innings, while Felix Hernandez started for the M's and yielded only one run on six hits over 7 2/3 frames in a no-decision.

Mark Saunders notched the only RBI for Seattle.
