ANAHEIM –- For most of the night, a ball sailing over the fence meant good things for the A’s.
They were primed for an encouraging start to this five-game road trip Friday. Then Mike Trout launched a ball deep over the center field wall to tie it in the eighth off Evan Scribner. Two batters later, Kole Calhoun sent another homer rocketing over the wall off Scribner, this one to right.
Just like that, a one-run A’s lead turned into a 5-4 A’s defeat to the Los Angeles Angels. Oakland is showing signs of improvement in different areas of late.
