Brandon Drury homered twice, doubled and drove in three runs, and the Los Angeles Angels wrapped up their eighth consecutive losing season with a 7-3 victory over the major league-worst Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
Randal Grichuk also homered for the Halos, and Eduardo Escobar had two hits. After Escobar's RBI single in the fifth, the Angels saved the ball for the 34-year-old infielder, whose playing future is uncertain. Los Angeles was 56-51 at the trade deadline and made several acquisitions in a bid to contend, but flopped immediately after the deadline with a seven-game skid, eventually going 17-38 in the season's final two months while losing Ohtani, Mike Trout, Anthony Rendon and Taylor Ward for the year to injury.
Oakland finished its funereal season at 50-112, posting the franchise's worst record since the 1916 Philadelphia A's after going 60-102 last season. With reviled owner John Fisher's Vegas relocation dreams hanging over the Coliseum, the A's have endured their first back-to-back 100-loss seasons in Oakland and the franchise's first since 1964-65 in Kansas City.
