Pujols' milestone vs. A's not enough to halt skid

ANAHEIM -- Khris Davis' three-run homer in the eighth inning powered the Athletics to a 7-4 victory over the Angels on Friday night at Angel Stadium.

Trailing 4-2 in the fifth inning, the Athletics rattled off five unanswered runs, culminating when Davis took a Fernando Salas fastball and drove it a Statcast-projected 402 feet over the center-field wall. It's the seventh time this season the Angels have lost when tied after seven innings, and the team's fifth loss in a row.

Oakland's offensive surge picked up starter Eric Surkamp, who surrendered a first-inning home run to Albert Pujols and was pulled after 3 2/3 innings.
