The Athletics scored nine runs in the third inning but a four run night by the Angels made this game an interesting. Still, the comeback by LA fell short in the 10-8 win. Trevor Cahill was knocked around for four runs in the second inning but the pen did a nice job until that ninth inning. Michael Wuertz and Jared Lansford were strong with two strikeouts in their shutout innings. Andrew Carignan was the culprit in the ninth and he was the one who was tagged for four runs.
Travis Buck had a monster game. He went three for four with a homerun, three RBIs and three runs. The long ball was his third of the season. Landon Powell also had a nice game and he went two for three with a walk, a run and an RBI.
The Diamondbacks are next. Sean Gallagher and Vin Mazzaro will see some time on the mound in tomorrow’s game.
