Eight-run outburst not enough for A's in loss

ANAHEIM -- Cliff Pennington's first grand slam highlighted a five-run seventh inning for the Angels, who erased a five-run deficit and scored seven unanswered runs to rally for a 10-8 win over the A's on Wednesday night, securing a three-game sweep at Angel Stadium.

The Angels trailed 8-3 after the A's erupted for eight runs in the fourth inning, but they scored twice in the fifth behind Albert Pujols' second home run of the night and then added five more run in the seventh on Kole Calhoun's RBI single off Daniel Coulombe and Pennington's slam off Chris Hatcher.
