ANAHEIM -- On a night when the A's put together four extra-base hits and held a 6-4 lead heading to the bottom of the sixth inning, their defense and bullpen let them down.
The Angels rallied to beat the A's, 8-6, on Friday night at Angel Stadium, thanks in part to defensive miscues and a total of five free passes from the pitching staff. The two errors brought the A's season total to 90, which leads the Majors.
The Angels capitalized on the two errors in the second inning. The first error occurred when center fielder Jaycob Brugman let a ball scoot past him in center, moving Ben Revere over to third base before he would score on a sac fly.
