Bassitt's rough start sinks A's in Anaheim

Each of the Angels' first six runs scored with two outs, and all were charged to A's starter Chris Bassitt. In the first, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back doubles and David Murphy added a single to give the Angels a 2-0 lead. With one on in the fourth, David Freese and Carlos Perez hit back-to-back singles, Johnny Giavotella lined an RBI double and Erick Aybar provided the knockout punch with a two-run triple.
