Jeff McNeil hit a tying homer in the ninth inning and Tyler Soderstrom had an RBI single in the 10th to rally the Athletics past the Angels 6-5 on Wednesday<\/a> night.<\/p>\n

The Angels<\/a> loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the 10th but left-hander Hogan Harris got Jorge Soler to ground out, sending the Angels to their 23rd loss in 29 games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A\u2019s reliever Scott Barlow (1-0) threw a scoreless ninth for the win. Angels right-hander Chase Silseth (1-1) took the loss after giving up an unearned run in the 10th.<\/p>\n

The teams combined for eight runs in the first two innings, with the Angels taking a 5-3 lead on Soler\u2019s two-run homer in the first and Jo Adell\u2019s solo shot and Josh Lowe\u2019s two-run drive off A\u2019s starter Aaron Civale in the second.<\/p>\n

Soderstrom hit a two-run single in the first, and Henry Bolte scored when Lowe misplayed Carlos Cortes\u2019 single to left field in the second.<\/p>\n

Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz walked four and hit a batter with a pitch in the first two innings, but the right-hander retired 12 straight batters \u2014 six by strikeout \u2014 from the third through the sixth before handing the ball to the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Angels reliever Ryan Zeferjahn plunked two batters in the seventh, and Sam Bachman gave up an RBI single to Nick Kurtz, trimming the Angels\u2019 lead to 5-4.<\/p>\n

Bachman retired the side in order in the eighth, but Kirby Yates couldn\u2019t convert his first save opportunity for the Angels, as McNeil led off the ninth by curling his second homer inside the right-field foul pole, tying the score at 5.<\/p>\n

Cortes walked with two outs and Shea Langeliers was hit by a pitch, but Angels left-hander Tayler Saucedo, called up from triple-A earlier Wednesday, got Kurtz to tap back to the mound to end the inning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeff McNeil hit a tying homer in the ninth inning and Tyler Soderstrom had an RBI single in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":811856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[171345,2379,11632,1582,276,76031,293785,62922,2961,5615,224,5337,32163,19686,41225,329876,5613,61882,75858,28447],"class_list":["post-811855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-10th","tag-angels","tag-batter","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-extra-innings","tag-jorge-soler","tag-josh-lowe","tag-la","tag-lead","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-ninth-inning","tag-out","tag-rbi-single","tag-sam-bachman","tag-second","tag-two-run-homer","tag-tyler-soderstrom","tag-wednesday-night"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116611769106265403","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
