Bullpen blows finale as Angels top Athletics 8-5

The A’s blew an excellent chance to collect a sweep today, blowing a late lead to drop the series finale to the Angels 8-5.

The pitching matchup for today’s finale was A’s rookie righty Joey Estes versus eight-year veteran Carson Fulmer. Both teams threatened over the first couple frames but came up short, partially due to the defense of the A’s:

Welcome back Toro! We missed you.

That wasn’t the only nice defensive play the A’s made early today:
