Angels stun A's on bookend HRs by Ohtani, J-Up

ANAHEIM -- Justin Upton's three-run homer off Blake Treinen capped a wild five-run seventh inning that sent the Angels a 13-9 win after trailing the A's by six runs in the series opener on Friday night at Angel Stadium.

The A's launched three home runs off Parker Bridwell, who lasted just 1 2/3 innings, to build a 6-0 lead, but the Angels clawed back into the game. Shohei Ohtani's third home run in as many games put the Halos on the board in the second inning, and Luis Valbuena's two-run single keyed a four-run fourth.
