Hoping to end the losing streak at seven games, the Athletics took on the Los Angeles Angels tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. The A’s 29-year-old lefty JP Sears faced off against Jack Kochanowicz for the Halos.
Kochanowicz walked three batters in the bottom of the first, loading the bases without a single hit. But Nick Kurtz struck out, stranding the runners. In the top of the second, Logan O’Hoppe homered to left center field scoring Jorge Soler. That gave the Angels an early 2-0 lead. But it didn’t last long. With one out, Seth Brown reached on a Tim Anderson error, and Max Schuemann singled, moving Brown to third.
