A's bullpen waiting to hit stride
Ryan Cook was charged with three runs on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning. (AP)"Yeah, that's frustrating," Cook said. "You never want to do that, obviously, put yourself in a bad position right from the jump. I'm not going to sit here and tell you walks are ever OK."
After C.J. Cron singled and Chris Iannetta struck out, Cook went ahead 0-2 against No. 9 hitter Johnny Giavotella but couldn't put him away. On the seventh pitch of the at-bat, Giavotella laced a single into center to score Joyce and give the Angels a 4-3 lead.
