Burns drives in the winning run in the 9th inning for A's

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Billy Burns singled with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Oakland Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

The Angels successfully challenged what would have been a game-ending double play in the top of the ninth. A ball hit to right fielder Jake Smolinski was ruled a catch and with pinch-runner Todd Cunningham standing on second, it looked like an easy double play.

Replays clearly showed the ball bouncing into Smolinski's glove and the play was reversed.
