A’s Rally Late for Dramatic 9-7 Victory Over the Angels

The Angels got on the scoreboard in the top of the first against A's opener Brady Basso . Third baseman Denzer Guzman hit an RBI groundout with runners on second and third and one out. Basso did a nice job limiting the damage to one run, as the inning could have gone much worse.

The A's southpaw rebounded with a scoreless second inning. Meanwhile, Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi began his outing with two scoreless innings. In the bottom of the second, Angels left fielder Bryce Teodosio made a nice catch to takeaway A's shortstop Alika Williams ' potential game-tying RBI double.

The Angels opened the third inning with three straight singles against Basso, bringing home their second run of the game. Then Guzman delivered the big blow with his eighth home run of the season, a three-run shot that extended the Angels' lead to 5-0. That marked his fourth straight game with a home run at Sutter Health Park this season.
