It only took 21 hours for the Oakland A’s to sweep the Los Angeles Angels this week.
The A’s beat the Halos 6-0 on Tuesday afternoon, wrapping up a quick two-game series at the Coliseum. The first game began last night at 6:41 p.m. PT and Oakland won, and then the final out of today’s rematch was squeezed at 3:39 p.m., a couple minutes shy of 21 hours later.
Not only did the Angels never score in this one, they didn’t even reach third base. They put a few runners on against starter James Kaprielian, including a pair of sharp singles in the 2nd inning and then a pair of lucky soft singles in the 4th, but as usual he worked through traffic when needed and finished with six sparkling frames.
