OAKLAND -- Billy Burns delivered a walk-off single with two outs in the ninth inning to give the A's a 3-2 victory over the Angels in Friday night's series opener at the Coliseum.
The winning hit off right-hander Fernando Salas plated Marcus Semien, who drew a two-out walk and advanced to third on Jake Smolinski's base hit, bringing Burns to the plate. A's closer Ryan Madson earned the win, despite allowing a game-tying sac fly in the ninth, while Kendall Graveman settled on a no-decision after stringing together seven innings of one-run ball.
