OAKLAND — It was a great afternoon for baseball at The Coliseum, and the A’s and Angels treated a Labor Day crowd to plenty of it Monday.
Three hours and 44 minutes worth of it, to be exact, thanks to 17 total runs, 25 hits, 10 walks and three hit batsmen. A masterpiece it was not. And by the end of it, the Angels outlasted the A’s 10-7 despite an impressive comeback from Oakland, which trailed 8-2 at one point.
The A’s scored five unanswered runs from the fourth to the seventh to pull to within one at one point.
