The return of Nick Tropeano was only part of the story for the LA Angels on Tuesday night in Oakland. The things that the Angels did in order to snap a 10-game winning streak by the A’s were numerous and were all things that general manager Billy Eppler and manager Brad Ausmus were hoping for from this year’s team.
The Angels got clutch hitting, strong bullpen work, and solid starting pitching in gaining the 6-4 victory which puts the Angels in position to take the series from the A’s with a victory on Wednesday.
The game did not start well for the Angels as the opener strategy they have employed with certain pitchers did not work as well as they would hope.
