That’s two in a row! One more and it’s a winning streak.
The Oakland A’s blanked the Los Angeles Angels 4-0 on Thursday, opening a four-game series in Anaheim on the right foot. Oakland have been slumping lately, but for the second straight game they showed up on both sides of the ball, and they even got a couple of the fortunate hops that haven’t been bouncing in their favor lately.
The headline entering the evening was the A’s debut of outfielder Starling Marte, who was acquired in a trade yesterday, and indeed Marte did contribute to the victory.
