Athletics at Los Angeles Angels
Final
Recap
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Zack Gelof's fielder’s choice groundout in the 10th inning drove in Nick Kurtz to give the Athletics a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. With the bases loaded and one out, Gelof hit a grounder off Ryan Zeferjahn (2-2) to shortstop Zach Neto, who got the force at second. However, second baseman Adam Frazier had trouble getting the ball out of his glove before the throw to first. Gelof was called out originally but the A’s won a challenge and Kurtz scored from third. In the bottom of the 10th, Mark Leiter Jr. retired the Angels to earn his fourth save. A’s reliever Joel Kuhnel (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth inning. The Angels have lost 11 of their last 13 games.
