It took almost 5 hours and two comebacks to decide the outcome, but ultimately the A’s couldn’t overcome the Angels, losing 12-7 in 11 innings and dropping the series, two games to one. The A’s trailed 2-0, 3-1, 5-1, 7-5, before dramatically tying the game in the bottom of the ninth. But the A’s pitching staff walked nine batters, hit three and watched two of their best relievers, Blake Treinen and Lou Trivino combine to allow 7 runs (six earned) between them.
