Oakland A's Franchise (Game 14)
A's win streak ends at 6 in Anaheim
Anaheim, Ca - The Oakland Athletics came in today with a 6-game winning streak after back-to-back sweeps on the road against the Twins and Mariners. Competition was a little tougher this time around as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, winners of 4 straight, extend their own winning streak to 5 as they trashed the A's 8-2.
Albert Pujols walked in the bottom of the 7th after an error by Josh Donaldson allowed Mike Trout to reach base with 2 outs. That loaded the bases for Josh Hamilton, who hit a grand slam to right on the first pitch from A's reliever Luke Gregerson. Kole Calhoun led off the bottom of the 8th with a solo homer off Ryan Cook to add an insurance run. Kevin Jepsen threw a 1-2-3 9th to seal the win for the Angels, who are in 2nd place behind the A's in the AL West.
The Angels started lefty Hector Santiago who gave up a solo home run to Josh Donaldson in the 1st to allow the A's to take a 1-0 lead. Oakland A's starter Jesse Chavez, who 1-hit the Twins his last time out, allowed a run in the bottom of the 1st. Chavez gave up a home run to Chris Iannetta in the bottom of the 5th before allowing the winning run on-base with a single in the bottom of the 7th.
The A's were led by Josh Donaldson who was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs in the game but were struck with 3 errors from Donaldson, Chavez, and first baseman Brandon Moss.
The series continues tomorrow on Jackie Robinson Day with Tommy Milone starting for the A's and Garrett Richards going up for the Angels.
