OAKLAND -– Just when the A’s had snatched the momentum Wednesday night, things once again took a wrong-way turn for their bullpen.
The Los Angeles Angels struck for three runs in the seventh inning to snap a tie game and went on to hang a 6-3 defeat on Oakland to even this three-game series at the Coliseum.
The visitors did the damage against three A’s relievers, right after Oakland scored twice in the sixth to knot the score 3-3. Manager Bob Melvin has been trying to find the right late-inning combination with his relief corps, but Wednesday marked the seventh loss the bullpen has been saddled with, most in the majors.
