Takeaways from the A’s loss to the Angels: Arms deliver, offense does not

The Oakland A’s lost to the Los Angeles Angels, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon.

The offense got hot late in Friday’s opener, resulting in a comeback, walk-off victory in the 10th inning. No such offensive outburst came in Saturday’s game. The A’s scored one run on Robbie Grossman’s RBI single that scored Stephen Piscotty, who . . .

But he unraveled in the fifth, surrendering a single and two doubles from Max Stassi, Andrelton Simmons and David Fletcher that resulted in three runs the A’s couldn’t overcome.
