OAKLAND -- Kole Calhoun's two-run, go-ahead triple off Blake Treinen lifted the Angels to a wild 11-9 series-opening victory over the A's in 11 innings on Monday afternoon at the Coliseum.
With the game tied, 9-9, Treinen issued a one-out walk to Justin Upton and then hit Eric Young Jr. to bring up Calhoun, who lined a 1-0 sinker down the right-field line, just past a diving Matt Olson, for his first triple of the season.
Keynan Middleton coaxed a game-ending double play from Khris Davis in the 11th to seal the Angels' win, ending the 4-hour, 38-minute marathon.
