Angels 2-1 win over A's
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Adam Frazier singled leading off the ninth inning for
the first hit against Athletics starter J.T. Ginn, and Zach Neto followed with
a two-run homer that gave the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 victory Monday night.
Neto drove a 2-0 sinker 413 feet to center field, stunning Ginn and the A's
while snapping a six-game losing streak for the Angels. It was their third
walk-off win this season.
Ginn (2-2) struck out 10 and issued one walk on 105 pitches. He also hit Neto
with a pitch in the sixth.
The right-hander was perfect through 4 1/3 innings and came within three outs
of the first major league no-hitter since Shota Imanaga combined with two
Chicago Cubs relievers for a 12-0 win over Pittsburgh on Sept. 4, 2024.
Lawrence Butler had a pinch-hit RBI single in the top of the ninth that drove
in Zack Gelof for the first run of the game, but the Angels rallied to win
despite getting outhit 7-2.
Walbert Urea tossed six scoreless innings for the Angels, allowing four hits
and striking out four. Ryan Zeferjahn gave up the first run of the game and
walked the bases loaded, but Chase Silseth (1-0) worked out of the jam by
getting slugger Nick Kurtz to ground into a game-ending double play.
Kurtz's fifth-inning double extended his on-base streak to 41 games, tying
Eddie Joost (1949) for the sixth-longest in A's history. Kurtz is also tied
with Kyle Schwarber last year for the longest in the big leagues across the
past four seasons.
Up next
Athletics LHP Jacob Lopez (3-2, 5.80 ERA) faces Angels LHP Reid Detmers (1-4,
4.38) in the second game of the four-game series Tuesday.
