Miguel Andujar and Brent Rooker hit back-to-back RBI singles in the third and Tyler Soderstrom added a sacrifice fly in the decisive inning on a hot Independence Day in the Bay Area, with an announced holiday crowd of 11,956. Oakland's pitching shut down an Angels lineup that had been on quite an offensive run. “This offense that we faced had scored five or more runs in (seven) consecutive games, they had won six of their last seven, they swept us in Anaheim, beat a Detroit team at home, came here really confident and really swinging the bats well," A's manager Mark Kotsay said. “So our pitching staff really did a great job this series of controlling their offense, keeping the guys that had really been providing the offense at check and not giving away free bases.” Sears (5-7) struck out six and walked one, allowing two hits over five innings to snap a six-start winless stretch since beating Houston on May 25. The left-hander had dropped his previous four decisions. “It's contagious, you just want to do what the guy did before you,” Sears said. The Angels lost a fourth straight game coming off a 5-0 shutout Wednesday. They were shut out in consecutive games for the first time since June 20-21, 2023 at home against the Dodgers. The club now has a six-game losing streak at the Coliseum. "It was just a tough overall series," said center fielder Kevin Pillar, who made several sparkling catches and said he was close to snagging Butler's eighth inning drive. “We were playing really good baseball at home, you got that off day, you come here, just playing these guys not a lot of secrets.” Right-hander Roansy Contreras (1-1) walked two of the first three batters in the third to get in trouble, then gave up the run-scoring singles and a sacrifice fly before another walk — and that was it in his second start for the Angels. He lasted just 2 2/3 innings. The Angels played the first of four straight day games as they head to Chicago to face the Cubs — their first visit to Wrigley Field since 2019. TRAINER'S ROOM Angels: OF Mike Trout hit on the field off a tee during Monday's off day and is running on a treadmill as he recovers from a torn meniscus in his left knee. Manager Ron Washington saw the video and said “he looked natural.” ... 3B Luis Rengifo was feeling better after exiting a night earlier with an injury on his lower right arm near the wrist after fouling a ball off it in the ninth inning. ... 3B Anthony Rendon (left hamstring strain) will return to regular third base duties when healthy, with some games at designated hitter as needed, Washington said. Athletics: LHP Kyle Muller has rejoined the team from his rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the injured list this weekend after dealing with tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. UP NEXT RHP Griffin Canning (3-8, 4.71 ERA) takes the mound for the Angels in the series opener with the Cubs. LHP Hogan Harris (1-2, 3.18) pitches for the A's in Friday’s series opener against Baltimore, which counters with RHP Albert Suárez (4-2, 2.43). ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB 181010 MC NG 0469 Edit ?w=1920 Foto Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman Neilgaiman1.0 103242726 Gaiman.getty 700x700bb NewFile 1 ?width=1200&auto=webp&quality=75 Neil Gaiman Time100 2023 ?quality=85&w=2400 C387e154 6a18 41f6 Aa69 6afc7fccfe97 Neil Gaiman Author Photo Bw3 768x1024 4674305 Neil Gaiman Quote Fairy Tales Are More Than True Not Because They Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman Min1 1536x1024 What Is Neil Gaiman Net Worth 2023 Wiki Bio Info Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman E1603998854516 13 Neil Gaiman E1680198387545 Neil Gaiman What Is Neil Gaiman Net Worth And Salary In 2023 768x512 Neil Gaiman Net Worth IWealthyfox What Is Neil Gaiman Net Worth 2023 All You Need To Know Neil Gaiman Overview 768x512 Neil Gaiman 1024x576 Neil Gaiman 626987l 600x0 W 585bddf2 505837a64c86740be3b3ad0f3059e931 E545ed9c550db1bf52bef3c8f74115cf AVT Neil Gaiman 5024 Maxresdefault MV5BMTk1NTU2NzI0OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNTMyODU5NTM@.
