Sacramento… I’ve been there once. Don’t remember much. Other than the humidity. And the capital building. The A’s play here now. In a AAA stadium. Yep. At least this game is at night. And by that I mean night night. Like when we used to have night games before they moved it to before 7 pm.
Anyway, Soriano was looking to keep this winning streak going. He went 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits striking out 4 and walking 4. A very poor quality start, but a quality start nonetheless. And he left in line for the win.
This was a back and forth affair, all while looking like a spring training game with good uniforms on. Since it was in a AAA stadium and it was Angels at A’s. Look, it is a battle for 4th place in the AL West, not the best teams in Baseball.
Highlighted Recap
The Angels struck first with a Nolan solo shot in the first.
The A’s did get that back immediately, however.
And took the lead right after.
However, the Angels were able to tie it in the 3rd thanks to Moncada ground out.
And then Ward gave them the lead with a 2 run blast.
The A’s battled back, getting closer in the 5th.
Soriano escaped the 6th and handed it over to the bullpen to hold onto the 1 run lead. To their credit, they got out to Jansen with the 4-3 lead. And Jansen notched the save. Angels win their 4th in a row!
Upcoming
