Billy Burns was tonight’s designated hitter. Eric Surkamp faced Jered Weaver, who threw a three-hit shutout against the Oakland Athletics last week.
The Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim faced each other 102 times in the last six seasons and had 51 wins apiece, but the A’s had the upper hand tonight. This fact was pretty cool. I don’t mind any southern California team falling behind. I’ll tell you that.
Stephen Vogt hit what appeared to be a solo home run, which led to the umpires requesting a replay review to see if there was fan interference.
