Thursday’s game started out innocently enough, remaining scoreless through the first two innings. It didn’t look great when the Angels got on the board first when A’s starter Edwin Jackson walked Kole Calhoun and subsequently gave up a run scoring double to Jose Fernandez. The A’s then began their offensive onslaught that utterly destroyed the Angels pitching staff. The put up a five spot in the bottom of the inning, ultimately knocking out Angels’ starter Matt Shoemaker after he allowed a three-run shot to Stephen Piscotty that made the score 5-1 in favor of the A’s. It was Piscotty’s second three run homer in less than 24 hours.
