Home runs were flying for the third straight game at Angel Stadium, but it was the Athletics who held the advantage on Wednesday afternoon, preventing a sweep with a 8-4 win over the Angels.
On one hand, Griffin Canning didn’t walk anybody on Wednesday, after issuing a career-high six free passes last Friday in Texas. But he allowed an awful lot of hard contact in a second straight short start.
Canning only allowed one home run in his first three starts, but he flipped that against the A’s. a Matt Olson, Robbie Grossman, and Stephen Piscotty took him deep, which helped limit Canning to just four innings, allowing four runs.
