The Oakland Athletics kicked off a four game road series with the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim Monday night. The A’s sent lefty Kent Waldichuk (0-2) to the mound against southpaw José Suarez for the Angels. Both starters have made four starts without a win early in this 2023 season.
Suarez made quick work of the first two batters for the A’s, but Brent Rooker sent the first pitch he saw into the left field bleachers for his fifth home run of the season. Jesús Aguilar followed that with a similar shot into the same bleachers for his third homer of the season.
