OAKLAND -- Ricky Nolasco did his part on Monday night. But he had to sit as a spectator in the 11th inning, watching as A's second baseman Jed Lowrie hit a walk-off solo shot to hand the Angels a tough 3-2 defeat.
Nolasco tossed seven strong innings and struck out 10 batters for the first time since Aug. 28, 2013. But he left the game while it was locked in a 2-2 stalemate, leaving him without a chance to earn a victory.
"We've just got to keep doing our job," Nolasco said.
