Escobar hits 3-run homer, drives in 4 as Angels top A’s 7-3 (May 09, 2017)

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) The Los Angeles Angels cleared the fences and provided manager Mike Scioscia with some encouraging signs for an offense that has been far from consistent.

Yunel Escobar hit a three-run homer and had four RBIs, Albert Pujols and Ben Revere added solo shots and the Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 7-3 on Tuesday night.

Pujols isn’t ready to say this game will be some kind of turning point, but it was a good start in the process.

”That was great obviously after a tough loss last night,” Pujols said. ”We just came back and scored first, then they took the lead but we put some good at-bats.
