WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson’s major league-record errorless streak at the position reached 113 games Tuesday night after a postgame scoring change overturned what was initially ruled a throwing error.

Wilson threw wide of Donovan Walton at second base in the eighth inning against Tampa Bay, and the official scorer ruled it an error, his first since July 6, 2025. The scoring decision was later changed to reflect Yandy Díaz reaching on a fielder’s choice.

Wilson, 24, on Sunday surpassed Mike Bordick’s shortstop errorless record of 110 games. His father, Jack Wilson, played 12 years in the majors, also at shortstop.
