ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) β Stephen Vogt hit a tiebreaking, two-run single during Oakland’s four-run rally in the seventh inning, and the Athletics hung on to stop the Los Angeles Angels’ seven-game winning streak with an 8-7 victory Wednesday night.
Sean Doolittle got pinch-hitter Collin Cowgill to ground out with Mike Trout on third base to end it, completing a five-out save in a wild regular-season home finale for the Angels (83-75).
Eric Sogard had an early three-run double for the last-place A’s, whose second win in 11 games further complicated the AL playoff race.
One day after the Angels completed a two-month chase by passing Houston for the second wild-card spot, Los Angeles committed four errors and gave up seven unearned runs while dropping back into a tie with the Astros, who played at Seattle later.
