Khris Davis crushed a two-run homer off Blake Parker to trim the Angels' lead to 10-8 in the eighth, prompting manager Mike Scioscia to bring in closer Bud Norris to attempt a four-out save. But Norris couldn't stop the bleeding, yielding an RBI single to Pinder and a two-run single Bruce Maxwell, allowing the A's to surge ahead, 11-10.
Santiago Casilla survived a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and Blake Treinen pitched a scoreless ninth to seal the A's second straight win over the Angels. Mark Canha, Pinder and Davis all homered for Oakland, which outhit the Halos, 18-12.
